State v. Pennington

RONALD R. HOLLIGER, Judge.

Charles G. Pennington, Jr., appeals from his conviction following a jury trial for one count of the class A felony of first-degree robbery, § 569.020 1 , and one count of the unclassified felony of armed criminal action, § 571.015. The trial court sentenced Pennington as a prior and persistent offender to concurrent sentences of 20 years imprisonment. On appeal, Pennington asserts the trial court erred in admitting evidence of prior uncharged crimes.

The judgment of the trial court is reversed and remanded for a new trial.
