Appeals court upholds conviction of Jasper County killer

The Missouri Southern District Court of Appeals today upheld the conviction of John Opry, who killed Jim Grace, 59, and Glen Nelson Cramer, 81, who were taking care of a Sarcoxie home while the owner was away on July 23, 2005.

The appellate panel ruled that Judge David Mouton did not err when he did not allow Opry to use a defense of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect.
