Description
A jury convicted appellant, Lavenia J. Goree, of three counts of murder in the first degree. Section 565.020.1, RSMo 1986. The trial court sentenced her to three concurrent life sentences without possibility of probation or parole. She appeals, alleging trial court error in (1) failing to grant her motion waiving her right to a jury trial, (2) failing to declare a mistrial because of alleged prosecutorial misconduct, and (3) failing to declare a mistrial after the prosecutor improperly argued an adverse inference from appellants failure to call a witness. The Court of Appeals, Eastern District, affirmed by memorandum order. Rule 30.25(b). We granted transfer to consider the issues raised by appellant. We have jurisdiction. Mo. Const. art. V, § 10. Affirmed.
