State v. Witherbee

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided January 20, 2009

Missouri Court of Appeals · decided 2009-01-20

Relies on State v. Brethold

Decided 2009-01-20

¶1 ORDER

PER CURIAM.

¶2 Clarence Witherbee appeals from the trial court’s judgment entered upon a jury *588 verdict convicting him of first-degree child molestation and sexual misconduct involving a child. We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and conclude that the trial court did not plainly err, and no manifest injustice nor miscarriage of justice occurred, in allowing the State to admit into evidence a recording of the victim’s statement to a forensic interviewer. Rule 30.20 1 ; State v. Brethold, 149 S.W.3d 906, 909 (Mo.App. E.D.2004). An extended opinion would have no prece-dential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision to the parties for their use only. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Missouri Rule of Criminal Procedure 30.25(b).
