On appeal, Wright argued there was insufficient evidence to prove his intent was to take money \"from the person of the victim\" because she was in her underwear and t-shirt, and he asked where her money was. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, finding sufficient evidence for a reasonable juror to conclude Wright took a substantial step towards taking money from the victim's person.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=221513","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-albert-jay-wright-appellant-d38544","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
