Ausler appealed his conviction for first-degree murder, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, raising three points of error. He argued the trial court erred by not including an age element in the first-degree murder jury instruction, failing to dismiss the indictment for a speedy trial violation, and sentencing him to life without parole without proof of his age. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, concluding that the jury instruction was accurate, his speedy trial rights were not violated, and his sentencing claim did not establish grounds for plain error review.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","jury-instructions","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=209056","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-marcus-h-ausler-appellant-110825","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","text: criminal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: jury-instructions","topic: appellate-procedure","text: jury instruction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
