State v. Monroe

Opinion

Order

PER CURIAM.

Appellant, Kriston Monroe, appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Buchanan County after a jury found him guilty of driving while revoked (DWR), section 302.321. 1 Monroe was sentenced to three years as a prior and persistent offender. 2 Monroe asserts that the trial court erred in excluding certain evidence, abandoned its neutrality, and failed to intervene sua sponte in closing argument. Upon a review of the claims, this court finds no error. A lengthy opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose. The parties have been provided a memorandum of the *486 court’s reasoning. Judgment affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
