State of Missouri v. Russell Allen Renfrow, Jr.

Russell Renfrow appeals his convictions for felony forcible rape under § 566.030, RSMo,1 and misdemeanor second-degree child molestation under § 566.068, RSMo. Renfrow argues that the circuit court plainly erred in permitting his probation officer to testify to incriminatory statements Renfrow had made, in violation of § 559.125.2, RSMo.
