Robinson appealed his convictions for second-degree murder and armed criminal action, arguing the State failed to present sufficient evidence to disprove his claim of self-defense. The trial court, in a bench trial, rejected Robinson's self-defense claim. The Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment, holding that the State provided ample evidence to show Robinson did not act in self-defense, specifically regarding his belief of imminent danger, the force used, and his failure to avoid the danger.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=220115","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-deonte-m-robinson-appellant-112322","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: evidence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
