APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF ST. LOUIS COUNTY, HONORABLE JOHN F. KINTZ.
Kent Denzel, 3402 Buttonwood, Columbia, Missouri 65201, for Appellant.
John M. Morris III, Supreme Court Building, P.O. Box 899, Jefferson City, Missouri 65102, for Respondents.
Before George W. Draper III, P.J., Mary R. Russell, J., and Mary K. Hoff, J.
ORDER
Appellant, Nicholas Smith, appeals from his convictions for first degree assault in violation of Section 565.050, armed criminal action in violation of section 571.015, and felonious restraint in violation of Section 565.120. He contends the trial court erroneously sustained an objection to defense counsel's closing argument. We affirm.
Unless otherwise noted, all statutory references are to RSMo 2000.
Having reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal, we conclude the trial did not err. An extended opinion would have no jurisprudential value. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision. We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
