He argued that the trial court erred in denying his motions for judgment of acquittal, claiming insufficient evidence that he caused the injuries or recklessly caused the death of Victim 1. The Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment, finding sufficient circumstantial evidence to support the jury's verdicts on all counts and that Harris waived his argument regarding the involuntary manslaughter instruction.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=218775","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-horatio-t-harris-appellant-112333","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"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"}]}
