Opinion

Order

Larry Beckham appeals, following a jury trial, his convictions of first-degree statutory sodomy, § 566.062, and first-degree child endangerment, § 568.045, for which he was sentenced by the court to consecutive terms of ten and five years’ imprisonment, respectively. Beckham raises four claims on appeal: (1) insufficient evidence to support his convictions insofar as there was no evidence of hand-to-genital contact; (2) error in the admission of evidence of Beckhams character by the State; (3) error in allowing the State to treat Beckham as an expert witness against himself; and (4) error in the admission of evidence that Beckham was detained in jail pending trial. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 30.25(b).
