Kendrick appealed his conviction for unlawful use of a weapon, arguing the trial court committed plain error by not instructing the jury on self-defense sua sponte. Kendrick contended there was substantial evidence to support a self-defense instruction. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, holding that while the trial court must submit a self-defense instruction when substantial evidence supports it, in this case, there was no substantial evidence to support a deadly force self-defense instruction.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","jury-instructions","standard-of-review","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=124914","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-kedric-r-kendrick-d80399","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"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
