Description
Darren Harris appeals his convictions following a jury trial for first degree murder, section 565.020, RSMo 1994, and armed criminal action, section 571.015, RSMo 1994, and sentences to concurrent terms of life imprisonment without parole and life imprisonment, respectively. He claims that the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion for a mistrial based on a witness's unsolicited outburst. The judgment of convictions is affirmed. Delzoria Mondaine saw two young men, Darren Harris and the victim, Robert Smith, arguing in the front yard of her house located at 7307 East 107th Street in Kansas City at approximately one o'clock in the afternoon of April 1, 1995. Mr. Smith was short and stocky; Mr. Harris was tall, light complected, and wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt. When she asked the men what was wrong, Mr. Smith claimed that Mr. Harris had a gun and was going to kill him. Mr. Harris denied having a gun and explained to Ms. Mondaine that Mr. Smith had stolen $200 from him. Ms. Mondaine then attempted to calm the men down.
