Stevens appealed his jury convictions for resisting arrest, assault, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia. He argued the trial court plainly erred by admitting evidence of pending kidnapping and assault charges from a neighboring jurisdiction. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, declining to review for plain error because Stevens failed to facially establish substantial grounds for believing manifest injustice or miscarriage of justice resulted from the admission of the evidence.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=205675","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-damathan-l-stevens-appellant-111230","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"}]}
