View this case - free

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's convictions for two counts of child molestation in the first degree in violation of Mo. Rev.

State v. Poole, No. 27663, COURT OF APPEALS OF MISSOURI, SOUTHERN DISTRICT, March 19, 2007, Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's driving while intoxicated conviction was affirmed; the amount of the officer's education in the particular field of horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN) testing, and any lack of medical training, went to the weight of his testimony that defendant's blindness in one eye did not affect his performance on the test, not to its admissibility.
