Supreme Court of Missouri

State of Missouri v. Eric G. Hollowell

April 26, 2022

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri vacated Eric Hollowell’s conviction and remanded for a new trial because the circuit court erred by admitting his wife’s out‑of‑court statement beyond the limited purpose of explaining police conduct, thereby prejudicing the trial. The Court held that sufficient evidence existed to support the convictions and that multiple convictions for each firearm do not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause.
