A former Joplin resident who was sent to prison for 20 years for forcible rape last year will receive a new trial.
The Missouri Southern District Court of Appeals tossed out the conviction of Michael C. Courtney Jr., 34, saying Judge David Dally erred by allowing hearsay testimony to be used against Courtney, who was accused of raping a Missouri Southern State University student.
