He argued there was insufficient evidence to prove he consciously and intentionally possessed the firearm and that the trial court plainly erred by conducting his sentencing hearing virtually without his physical presence. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding sufficient circumstantial evidence to support the possession conviction and declining plain error review for the virtual hearing issue as Greer failed to show outcome-determinative error.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=201492","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-desmond-tyez-greer-appellant-d37706","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
