Description
Juan Mercado, Jr., (defendant) was convicted, following a jury trial, of the class B felony of trafficking drugs in the second
degree. § 195.223.7(1). 1 The trial court found defendant to be a prior and persistent offender and sentenced
him to imprisonment for a term of 25 years pursuant to § 558.016.7(2). This court reverses the judgment of conviction
due to insufficiency of the evidence and directs the trial court to enter judgment of acquittal and order defendant discharged. On March 16, 1993, Joplin Police Officer Pete Box stopped a brown GMC van for following another vehicle too closely. The
van was traveling along Interstate 44 (I-44) in Newton County, Missouri. It was registered to Augustine Rodriguez, the driver
of the vehicle. Defendant was a passenger. He was lying on a seat that converted into a bed in the back of the van.
