Davidson challenged the trial court's rejection of his double jeopardy argument, the submission of a verdict director instruction, and the admission of text messages. The Southern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction, finding no merit in Davidson's arguments regarding double jeopardy, plain error in jury instructions due to trial strategy, or abuse of discretion in admitting text messages that were cumulative to his own testimony.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","jury-instructions","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=149953","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-herbert-glen-davidson-appellant-d35760","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","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
