STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. James A. KIRK, Appellant.

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

May 28, 2004.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Amy M. Bartholow, Columbia, MO, for appellant.

Deborah Daniels, Jefferson City, MO, for respondent.

Before EDWIN H. SMITH, P.J., HOLLIGER and HARDWICK, JJ.


LISA WHITE HARDWICK, Judge.

James Kirk was convicted by jury of kidnapping and second-degree robbery, and sentenced to serve a total of twenty-two years in prison. On appeal, Kirk contends the trial court abused its discretion in excluding evidence of his statements to police. He argues the "rule of completeness" required admission of the full statement after the State relied on a select portion of the statement at trial. Finding no error, we affirm.
