Hudson appealed his convictions for murder, armed criminal action, assault, and unlawful use of weapons, following a jury trial. He argued the trial court erred by excluding his expert witness on the effects of PCP and by refusing a jury instruction on involuntary intoxication. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding that Hudson failed to present substantial evidence of involuntary intoxication to support either the expert testimony's relevance or the requested jury instruction.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","jury-instructions","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=186213","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-curtrail-j-hudson-d84162","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: criminal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: jury-instructions","topic: evidence","text: jury instruction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
