State v. Houston

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided April 11, 2006

Missouri Court of Appeals · decided 2006-04-11

Decided 2006-04-11

¶1*492ORDER

PER CURIAM.

¶2Jerry Houston was convicted by jury of first-degree statutory sodomy and then sentenced as a prior and persistent offender to serve a thirty-year prison term. On appeal, he contends the trial court plainly erred in allowing the prosecutor to comment, during closing argument, regarding his failure to testify at trial.

¶3Upon review of the briefs and the record, we find no error and affirm the judgment of conviction. We have provided the parties with a Memorandum explaining the reasons for our decision, because a published opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose.

¶4AFFIRMED. Rule 30.25(b).
