Byers was convicted of driving while intoxicated following a jury trial and appealed, asserting three points of error. He argued the trial court abused its discretion by denying his motion for a mistrial and his request for a curative instruction regarding a prosecutor's reference to a prior criminal case. Byers also contended the trial court erred in admitting evidence obtained from a traffic stop, claiming it violated his Fourth Amendment rights due to a lack of reasonable suspicion. The Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's judgment on all points.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","search-and-seizure","evidence","appellate-procedure","jury-instructions"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=127457","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-david-k-byers-appellant-105196","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","topic: search-and-seizure","text: state of missouri","text: criminal"],"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"}]}
