Eubanks claimed there was sufficient evidence to support his belief that the victim was tampering with his property, justifying the use of force. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, finding that the evidence was insufficient to inject the issue of defense of property, as Eubanks' belief regarding tampering was not reasonable under the statute.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","jury-instructions","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=151393","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-douglas-dwayne-eubanks-appellant-d35763","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: jury-instructions","topic: evidence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
