He argued the trial court erred by excluding a third-party confession, refusing a special jury instruction on informant credibility, and denying his speedy trial motion. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding the confession lacked reliability, the standard jury instruction was sufficient, and Lucas failed to establish a detainer for his speedy trial claim.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","jury-instructions","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=132634","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-darious-ashton-lucas-d80862","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","topic: appellate-procedure","text: jury instruction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
