At trial, he and his counsel repeatedly admitted his intoxication and drunk driving, relying on a justification defense. On appeal, George claimed plain error because a police officer testified to the 0.08 \"legal limit\" for DWI. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, holding that George's own voluntary judicial admissions rendered the officer's testimony irrelevant and harmless.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=165315","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-barry-edward-george-appellant-d36280","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"}]}
