ORDER
PER CURIAM
Kathryn Marsh ("Appellant") appeals her conviction of first-degree involuntary manslaughter. She raises two points on appeal. In Point I, Appellant argues the statement was inadmissible because the State failed to establish Appellant caused Victim's death for purposes of preventing him from testifying or reporting domestic assault. In Point II, Appellant argues the statement was inadmissible to rebut trial counsel's claim in her opening statement that Victim's death was an accident.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find the trial court did not err. A written opinion would have no precedential value and would serve no jurisprudential purpose. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum, for their information only, setting forth the reasons for our decision.
We affirm the judgment under Missouri Supreme Court Rule 84.16(b)(1) and 84.16(b)(3).
