The appellate court affirmed the conviction, finding that evidence of Graves's furtive actions, such as wearing a mask and a temporary worker vest while entering a restricted area, was sufficient for a rational jury to conclude he knowingly entered unlawfully for the purpose of stealing. The court noted that the detail shop was not open to the general public, and Graves's conduct supported the inference of an unlawful purpose.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=163783","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-erin-graves-d83058","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"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
