He claimed this error violated his rights to due process and a fair and impartial jury. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, concluding that Overstreet failed to demonstrate manifest injustice or a miscarriage of justice because his claim of prejudice was speculative and the jury had received the full instruction multiple times.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","jury-instructions","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=220036","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-daniel-r-overstreet-d86881","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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
