State v. Metcalf

318 S.W.3d 325, 2010 Mo. App. LEXIS 1103, 2010 WL 3314792

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

A jury convicted Shohn Metcalf (Defendant) of domestic assault in the first degree and felonious restraint. Defendant appeals on the grounds that the trial court abused its discretion in: (1) prohibiting defense counsel from cross-examining the victim about statements she made about the nature of her relationship with Defendant; and (2) prohibiting defense counsel from arguing in closing that the victim’s facial fractures were caused by a fall and not by Defendant intentionally striking her. We affirm.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and no error of law appears. An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, prepared a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties only-setting forth the reasons for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
