United States Eighth Circuit

If a defendant's motion for severance in pretrial proceedings is denied for lack of authority, and the defendant fails to renew the motion during trial or during post-trial proceedings, the issue is waived. Admission of testimony concerning prior thefts was an abuse of discretion but was harmless error.
