Missouri Court of Appeals October 27, 2008, 27921 (State v. Lopez-McCurdy)

JEFFREY W. BATES, Judge.

After a jury trial, Jose Lopez-MeCurdy, Jr. (Defendant) was convicted of the forcible rape of A.M. On appeal, Defendant presents two points for decision. In Point I, Defendant contends the trial court erred in denying Defendant’s motion for judgment of acquittal because the State failed to prove the element of forcible compulsion.
