No. SC 93851.

439 S.W.3d 208 (2014)

STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. Sylvester PORTER, Appellant.

Supreme Court of Missouri, En Banc.

Rehearing Denied September 30, 2014.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Amy E. Lowe , Public Defender's Office, St. Louis, for Porter.

Evan J. Buccheim , Attorney General's Office, Jefferson City, for the State.

RICHARD B. TEITELMAN, Judge.

Sylvester Porter appeals a judgment convicting him of two counts of statutory sodomy in the first degree. Porter argues that the trial court erred in denying his motion for judgment of acquittal because the victim's testimony was contradictory and lacked corroboration. Porter's argument is based on the "corroboration rule" and the "destructive contradictions" doctrine.1
