State v. Schmidt
State v. Schmidt
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
Fred H. Schmidt (Defendant) appeals from a judgment of conviction of seven counts of rape. Defendant alleges trial court error in (1) allowing counsel for the State to introduce into evidence and to display to the jury during trial an enlarged photograph of the victim and (2) denying his motion for acquittal because the conviction was unsupported by sufficient evidence. We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and conclude that (1) the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting and allowing display of the photograph, State v. Uka, 25 S.W.3d 624, 627 (Mo.App. E.D. 2000); and (2) there is sufficient evidence from which a reasonable trier of fact might have found Defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. State v. Shinn, 921 S.W.2d 70, 72-73 (Mo.App. E.D. 1996). An extended opinion would have no precedential value.
