Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided December 11, 2001 · Ellis, Lowenstein, Smart
65 S.W.3d 552; 2001 Mo. App. LEXIS 2187; 2001 WL 1566385 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

State v. Allen

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

William Allen appealed from his conviction of voluntary manslaughter, § 565.023, RSMo 2000, and armed criminal action, § 571 .015, RSMo 2000, and his sentence as a prior offender of fifteen years’ imprisonment for each count, to run concurrent. The court found that the trial court did not abuse its discretion: 1) in not instructing the jury to disregard a statement made by the prosecutor to a venirperson; and 2) in not allowing reputation evidence that the victim was a drug dealer and carried a gun.

Affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
