He challenged the admission of weapons-related evidence and bond violation evidence, the voluntary manslaughter instruction, and the circuit court's determination of his prior and persistent offender status. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding no prejudice from the admitted evidence, declining plain error review for the instruction, and concluding Perry waived his Erlinger rights by admitting his prior convictions.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","jury-instructions","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=229835","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-mark-r-perry-appellant-113016","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":"appellant"}]}
