Opinion

No. WD 63021.

August 31, 2004.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Jackson County; Edith L. Messina, Judge.

John Maurice Schilmoeller, Appellate Defender, Kansas City, MO, for Appellant.

Deborah Daniels, Assistant Attorney General, Jefferson City, MO, for Respondent.

Before BRECKENRIDGE, P.J., and SMART and HOWARD, JJ.


ORDER


Kenneth Askew appeals from the judgment entered upon his convictions by a jury for kidnapping, forcible rape, and forcible sodomy. He claims that the trial court erred in overruling his objections to the victim's testimony that he told her his name was "Killer," which scared her. He claims the evidence of his nickname was not logically or legally relevant to prove that he held the victim against her will or forced her to engage in sexual activity, and he was prejudiced thereby.

Judgment affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
