State v. Edwards

State v. Edwards
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided October 30, 2007 · Richter, Ahrens, Norton
242 S.W.3d 435; 2007 Mo. App. LEXIS 1499; 2007 WL 3145930 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

State v. Edwards

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Gregory Edwards appeals the judgment entered upon a jury verdict convicting him of child molestation in the second degree. We find that Edwards has failed to show he was prejudiced by the trial court’s ruling granting the State’s motion to strike a juror for cause. We also find that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in submitting the “hammer instruction” to the jury.

An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed under Rule 30.25(b).
