Impeachment trial proceedings.

106.170. The members being sworn, the supreme court or the special

commission, as the case may be, shall proceed to hear, try and determine such

impeachment, and may adjourn the trial to any other time; and the court or

commission shall determine all questions of law arising during the trial upon

the admissibility of evidence, the competency of witnesses, or otherwise, and

may punish any person for contempt committed toward it, or for obstructing the

administration of justice on such trial, in as full a manner as any court of

record could do for like contempt toward such court. Except as otherwise

provided in sections 106.020 to 106.210, the rules of evidence and procedure

applicable in civil actions before circuit judges in the circuit courts of

this state shall be followed in all trials of impeachment whether before the

supreme court or the special commission.
