Description
Introduction Nicklous D. Churchill appeals his conviction of first-degree statutory sodomy under section 566.062. *fn1 During the course of the trial one of the state's witnesses testified that the abuse allegedly incurred by the victim ("A.T.") "was real," thereby usurping the province of the jury. Because the trial court abused its discretion in overruling Churchill's objection, the judgment is reversed and the case is remanded for a new trial. II. Churchill began a short-lived relationship with J.T. ("victim's mother") in mid-February 2000. Their relationship progressed for three to four weeks, ultimately resulting in Churchill residing with J.T. Churchill lived with J.T. for approximately ten days. During that time, Churchill lived out of a duffel bag and slept in the same bed with J.T. On or about March 22, 2000, Churchill and J.T. broke off their relationship, and Churchill moved out of J.T.'s home.
