State v. Wallace

Missouri Court of Appeals

1Opinion of the Court

SPINDEN, Judge.

Andrew N. Wallace appeals the circuit court’s judgment convicting him of trafficking drugs in the second degree. He contends that the circuit court committed plain error by not declaring a mistrial after the state argued that Wallace was not a credible witness because he did not tell the police his “story” when he was arrested. He also complains that the circuit court erred in overruling his request for a mistrial or for a curative instruction in regard to a police officer’s testimony that he thought Wallace could be charged with “prowling.” We affirm.
