He argued that the jury's verdicts were inconsistent, that his convictions violated double jeopardy, and that the trial court erred by refusing a castle doctrine self-defense instruction. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, affirmed the convictions, finding no plain error in the inconsistent verdicts, no double jeopardy violation, and no error in refusing the self-defense instruction due to insufficient evidence.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","jury-instructions","appellate-procedure","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=146713","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-john-c-young-jr-d81706","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: criminal"],"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":"respondent"}]}
