Creviston appealed his convictions for statutory sodomy in the first degree and child molestation in the third degree following a jury trial. He challenged the trial court's failure to intervene during the State's closing argument and voir dire, and an allegedly erroneous jury instruction regarding unanimity in a multiple acts case. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, denying all three points relied on, primarily finding the claims either waived or failing to demonstrate plain error or manifest injustice.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","jury-instructions","standard-of-review","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=210193","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-christopher-a-creviston-appellant-d38096","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: jury-instructions","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
