Smith“The trial court abused its discretion in allowing Marilyn Gibson to testify over objection regarding the statements of [A.H.] and [R.H.], because those rulings violated Appellant’s right to due process of law, as guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 10 of the Missouri Constitution, in that there were insufficient indicia of reliability for the court to admit the statements into evidence.”
