STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. JARROD P. SIROIS
Missouri Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the CourtNancy Steffen Rahmeyer, J.
After being convicted of murder in the first degree and armed criminal action, Jarrod P. Sirois (“Appellant”) brings one point challenging the trial court’s limitations on his counsel’s questions during voir dire. Because the trial court is vested with wide discretion in the conduct of voir dire, we find no error and affirm.
“A trial judge is in the best position to determine whether a disclosure of facts on voir dire sufficiently assures the defendant of an impartial jury without permitting a prejudicial presentation of the evidence.” State v. Lutz, 334 S.W.3d 157, 163 (Mo.App.S.D.2011)…
