Missouri Court of Appeals October 16, 2001, ED 78254 (Woolford v. State)

LAWRENCE E. MOONEY, Judge.

Oscar Wilde feared that modern man knew the cost of everything, but the value of nothing. In this case, we encounter a witness who seemingly knew neither cost nor value, and, as a consequence, we cannot affirm the felony stealing conviction that rested upon that witness’s indefinite testimony on the crucial question of value.
