Pettijohn appealed his convictions for fourth-degree domestic assault and second-degree property damage, seeking a new trial based on the circuit court's alleged plain error in admitting evidence of methamphetamine possession and improper character evidence. The appellate court declined plain-error review. The court affirmed the judgment, holding that the defendant failed to preserve the issues for appeal by not objecting at trial, and thus no \"evident, obvious, and clear\" error by the circuit court occurred.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","evidence","criminal-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=209794","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-plaintiff-respondent-v-bryon-g-pettijohn-defendant-appe-d38068","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"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"}]}
