Description

Defendant was convicted of forcible rape in violation of Â§ 566.030, RSMo Supp. 1982 (effective 1980). During the course of trial, a psychiatrist testifying for the state was permitted to venture an opinion that the prosecutrix bore the marks of a condition known as "rape trauma syndrome arising out of an attack by the defendant. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, in a per curiam opinion gave thorough treatment to the issue of the admissibility of the rape trauma syndrome evidence and concluded that it should not have been admitted. By reason of general interest and importance, the Eastern District transferred the case to this Court, and we consider it as if an original appeal. Mo. Const. art. V, Â§ 10.
