State v. Bode

221 S.W.3d 479, 2007 Mo. App. LEXIS 697, 2007 WL 1346008

Opinion

Order

PER CURIAM.

Matthew L. Bode was convicted of first-degree robbery, armed criminal action, and possession of cocaine. Bode argues on appeal that the trial court erred in not severing the possession charge from the robbery and armed criminal action charges. He also argues that the trial court plainly erred in not sua sponte granting a mistrial based on the State’s opening argument and the testimony of a detective. The trial court did not err in not granting a severance in that joinder was proper as a matter of law and there was no abuse of discretion. We decline to review his remaining alleged errors for plain error because there was no evident, obvious, and clear error.

Affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
