State v. Brown
Opinion
Order
Danny Brown appeals the judgment of his convictions, following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, for first-degree burglary, in violation of § 569.160.1(3); stealing, in violation of § 570.030; forcible rape, in violation of § 566.030; and second-degree murder, in violation of § 565.021.1(2). As a result of his convictions, the appellant was sentenced, as a prior and persistent offender, § 558.016, to consecutive prison terms in the Missouri Department of Corrections of life in prison for second-degree murder, thirty years for first-degree burglary, 100 years for forcible rape, and one year for stealing.
The appellant raises one point on appeal. He claims that the trial court erred in allowing, over his objection, the testimony of Detective Ron Russell at trial because it was inadmissible as being “wholly duplica-tive” of another witness’ testimony and “only served to unfairly highlight” the inconsistent statements that the appellant gave to the police.
We affirm pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
