Description
Appellant, Angela Johnson, appeals from a conviction of manslaughter. § 565.004 RSMo 1978. Following a jury verdict in the Circuit Court of Cape Girardeau County, she was sentenced to a prison term of ten years. On appeal, appellant contends the trial court erred in: (1) overruling her motion in limine thus allowing evidence of other crimes to be admitted at the trial; (2) limiting the number of character witnesses she was allowed to call; (3) refusing to allow appellant's expert to testify to an experiment he performed; (4) in failing to submit MAI-CR 2.28, an excusable homicide instruction, prejudicing her by depriving her of a defense supported by the evidence; (5) overruling her request to strike a venireman for cause when comments elicited during voir dire established a questionable ability to sit as a fair and impartial juror. We affirm.
