Gauert from the Circuit Court of Callaway County, alleging stalking. Gauert appealed, arguing the record lacked substantial evidence to establish stalking under the Adult Abuse Act. The appellate court reversed and vacated the judgment, holding that the two incidents presented (shooting G.E.G.'s dog and taking photographs of G.E.G. on the highway) would not cause a reasonable person to fear physical harm. Therefore, G.E.G. failed to meet her burden of proof for the \"alarm\" element of stalking.","primaryTopic":"family-law","topicSlugs":["family-law","civil-procedure","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=176295","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/geg-v-robert-w-gauert-d83815","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":20,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
