“It is not constitutionally required that the courts budget child care for jurors. State v. Whitfield, 837 S.W.2d 503, 510 (Mo. banc 1992). "The decision not to provide child care is a rational decision, facially neutral with regard to race and gender. As there is no intention to discriminate, the disproportionate impact on minorities and women is not sufficient to violate the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, nor Article I, section 2 of the Missouri Constitution."

2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Shelton v. State · Green v. French“In general, the trial court has discretion in the sanctions imposed for failure to comply with Rule 25.03(A). See [State v. ]Kilgore , 771 S.W.2d [57] at 66 [ (Mo. banc 1989) ]. Rule 25.16 makes sanctions permissive rather than mandatory. The trial court, however, is required to tailor the remedy to alleviate harm to the defense from the failure to disclose. "The Rules of criminal discovery are not 'mere etiquette' nor is compliance discretionary." State v. Luton , 795 S.W.2d 468 , 477 (Mo. App. 1990).”
