On appeal, Snyder argued the trial court erred by excluding testimony from a DSS employee and requested plain error review for two jury instructions. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, finding the first point unpreserved for review due to deficiencies in the offer of proof and motion for new trial. The court also declined to exercise its discretion to review the unpreserved instructional error claims for plain error.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","evidence","jury-instructions","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=146554","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-cregg-allen-snyder-appellant-d35615","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: jury-instructions","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
