State v. Lewis

HOGAN, Judge.

A jury found defendant Kevin Howard Lewis guilty of two counts of vehicular manslaughter as defined and denounced by § 565.024.1(2), RSMo Supp.1984. His punishment was assessed at 4½ years imprisonment on each count. It was ordered that the sentences be served consecutively. The defendant appeals, contending: 1) that a privileged communication was erroneously received in evidence; 2) that the State should have been compelled to assist him in obtaining the presence of Jeffrey Ogden as a witness, and 3) that hearsay evidence of his guilt was erroneously admitted.
