How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that Missouri does not recognize a statement against penal interest exception to the hearsay rule in criminal proceedings
  • noting that the venireperson’s “appearance” was one of the nonpretextual, race-neutral explanations supporting the peremptory challenge
  • holding the notice to which an accused is entitled when second-degree felony murder is an option as a lesser-degree offense to first-degree murder is such notice as will enable an accused to make his defense
  • no error in admitting a portion of a videotaped police interview of a witness that was inconsistent with the witness’s trial testimony
  • reason for rejecting extrajudicial statements is that the only evidence showing the statement was made is the written or oral recitation of the out-of-court statement by another person
  • out-of-court declarations against penal interest remain inadmissible “except to the extent required by Chambers”
