State v. Gatewood

ULRICH, Chief Judge, Presiding Judge.

David Gatewood appeals his conviction following jury trial for forcible rape, section 566.030.1, RSMo 1994. Mr. Gatewood raises two issues on appeal. He contends that the trial court erred in (1) denying his motion for judgment of acquittal at the close of the State’s evidence where there was insufficient evidence to find him guilty of forcible rape beyond a reasonable doubt; and (2) denying his motion for new trial based on the victim’s alleged statement that she had “framed him.” The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
