Cook argued the circuit court plainly erred by initially overruling her objection to the State's statement to the venire panel and failing to give a proper curative instruction. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, holding that Cook waived plain error review by affirmatively agreeing with the circuit court's curative instruction and failing to renew her objection.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","criminal-procedure","standard-of-review","jury-instructions"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=207297","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-dawona-cook-appellant-111280","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":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: jury-instructions","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
