Wright appealed his convictions for second-degree robbery, armed criminal action, and third-degree assault, raising two points of plain error. First, he argued that his Fifth Amendment right against double jeopardy was violated because third-degree assault is a lesser-included offense of second-degree robbery. Second, he contended the trial court erred by not directly answering a jury question about whether fists could be a \"dangerous instrument.\" The Eastern District of Missouri affirmed the judgment, finding no plain error in either point.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","jury-instructions","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=165849","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-john-r-wright-appellant-108321","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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
