About Jason A. Korner

Attorney Biography

I am a criminal defense attorney in St. Louis, Missouri. I handle the defense of all crimes, but I focus primarily in the defense of DWI, Sex Crimes, and State and Federal Drug cases. My firm is located near the St. Louis County Courthouse in Clayton, Missouri. Please visit the firm website at www.kornerlaw.com to learn more about the law firm.I have practiced exclusively in the area of criminal law from the time I graduated from Saint Louis University with a concentration in Criminal Litigation. I gained valuable experience working as a prosecutor in Jefferson County, Missouri. After I left the prosecutor's office to become a criminal defense attorney I have handled many cases in all areas of criminal defense. It has become clear that my strengths are in trial work, specifically in the areas of Sex Crimes and DWI. I did not become a criminal defense attorney with the intention of handling many sex cases; however, as I have achieved more and more successful results in this area I have made it a focus area of my practice. The investigation of many kinds of criminal cases can become very technical for a police officer, such as administering field sobriety tests in a DWI case or questioning a child witness in a sex case. I have found that my most successful case outcomes have been achieved through challenging the technical and complex areas of police investigation. Learning exactly how the police should properly handle an investigation and then illustrating for a judge or jury all the shortcomings of a police investigation has been a very productive practice for me and lead to great results for my clients.

He will give the prosecutor the evidence they need !!

There isnt enough space here to detail all the egregious things that this lawyer did while defending my fiance on a rape in the 2nd degree case but i will just give you one example of just how horrible his services were. On Oct 12, 2023 the prosecutor filed another motion for continuance for a buccal swab so that he could " confirm or deny whether sex had occured between the defendent and the alledged victim" seems a little late in the game to be trying to figure that key element of a rape case out. The trial started 10/16/2023 and as we were walking into the court room and with all the full trust we could have in our lawyer , he tells Kevin that he needs him to sign a stipulation of consent. Basically he had Kevin sign a document stating that he had consensual sex with the alledged victim. He presented this to kevin knowing that kevin had not ever seen the motion for continuance where the prosecutor admits that without a stipulation or a buccal swab for dna comparison he would have no way to confirm or deny if the alledged victim and my fiance had even had sex and he knew that Kevin had never seen DNA evidence which were in his possession since November 2022 because he kept telling his client that consent was going to be their defense. So my fiance signed a form with a stipulation to having sex with the alledged victim without understanding that this was giving the prosecutor the first element of this case on a silver platter. Hmmm seems odd for a defense attorney to hand the prosecutor over the exact thing he needs to satisfy the first element of a case which is needed in order for a jury to find someone guilty of that crime. Oh and this is my favorite thing ..so the stipulation found on case net that is stamped as an official document does not even say consensual it just says sensual so now he has removed any and all real legal defense from his client. The only thing about that stipulation that was changed from consensual to sensual is that it is absent my fiancé's signature making the document invalid and not legally admissible. Jason Korner had never ever planned to use consent as a legal defense and the way i know this to be a documented legal fact , is because on case net on the 12th of October 2023 the prosecutor Daniel James filed a motion in Limine and in that motion he asked the courts to not allow my fiance to use consent as a defense unless he took the stand in his own defense and then went on to say that the defense attorney Jason Korner failed to file proper defense motions he was not allowed to ask the alleged victim about any prior rape allegations she had made, and that since the defense attorney had not filed any motions regarding its intention to put defendent on the stand that evidence or argument regarding consent should be prohibited and then the prosecutor's motion continues on to say the State respectfully requests that the court prohibit the defendent from adducing any of the above through evidence or testimony or arguing any of the above before the jury. So if this happened 10/12/2023 and absent any motions filed by Mr.Korner to challange these motions by the prosecutor he goes and has his own client sign a stipulation that he had consensual sex with the alledged victim then turn around and changes the word consensual to sensual and hands over to the courts and prosecutor for what strategically viable reason would anyone do that. Especially when he knows that his client will not be making an argument of consent because the prosecutor has already successfully barred that from being allowed into evidence in court. Maybe I am missing something here but last time I checked defense attorney’s are not supposed to be working along with the prosecution right? I feel like a better defense response would have been filing motion for dismissal for lack of critical evidence to convict? Do not use this lawyer!!!!!!
