Alexis R.

She argued that because the ACA statute does not specify a mens rea, a \"knowingly\" mental state should be imputed to both the use of a deadly weapon and the underlying felony. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, rejecting Irvin's argument and holding that controlling precedent establishes the \"knowingly\" mens rea for ACA applies only to the use of a dangerous weapon, not the underlying felony.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","other","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=231036","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-alexis-r-irvin-appellant-113035","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":40,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: criminal","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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
