State of Missouri v. Daviune C. Minor

Summary

The Court affirmed Minor’s convictions and eighty-seven-year sentence for three counts of first-degree statutory sodomy and three counts of incest. It held that most challenges to propensity evidence were unpreserved, the preserved claims did not warrant relief, the expert and demonstrative evidence were properly admitted, and sufficient evidence supported the challenged convictions. The Court also concluded the State was not bound by the original indictment’s penetration language because the case proceeded at trial under the amended touching language.
