State v. McClurg

Following a jury trial, Jason McClurg ("Defendant") was convicted of murder in the first degree and escape from confinement. See §§ 565.020, 575.210.1 The trial court sentenced him to consecutive terms of life without the possibility of parole and three years' imprisonment. Defendant raises one point on appeal, arguing that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion for a continuance. We affirm Defendant's convictions and sentences, but remand to correct a clerical error in the trial court's written judgment.
