Criminal Law: Resisting Arrest-Officer Testimony-Booking Procedure
Staff Report//October 6, 2023//
Where a defendant challenged convictions that included trespass and resisting arrest, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting an officer’s testimony stating that a booking photo was not immediately taken because he was unruly since the defense interjected the theory that the police did not follow the booking procedure, and the evidence was not prejudicial since similar evidence was admitted without objection.
Judgment is affirmed.
State v. Strickland (MLW No. 80571/Case No. SD37531 – 9 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, Growcock, J.) Appealed from circuit court, Iron County, Seay, J. (Ellen H. Flottman, Columbia, for appellant) (Evan Buchheim, Jefferson City, and Brian Patrick Parker, Ironton, for respondent).
