Description: Futon, Missouri criminal law lawyer represented Defendant charged with three counts of child molestation in the first degree and three counts of sodomy in the first degree.


Jarrad Ryan Vandergrift appeals following his conviction of three counts of child molestation in the first degree and three counts of statutory sodomy in the first degree. Vandergrift's notice of appeal was filed within ten days of the oral rendering of judgment and imposition of sentence, though a written judgment of conviction satisfying the requirements of Rule 29.07(c) was not entered of record until nearly eight months after the appeal was filed. Following sua sponte review, we would conclude that we have appellate jurisdiction to entertain Vandergrift's appeal. On the merits, we would reject Vandergrift's contentions that the trial court abused its discretion when it rejected his amended motion for new trial and committed plain error when it failed to exclude expert witness testimony.
