He argued there was insufficient evidence for the child endangerment charge and that the trial court plainly erred by not instructing the jury on all theories of justification for defense of others. The appellate court affirmed the convictions, finding sufficient evidence for child endangerment and that Hill had invited the instructional error, thereby waiving appellate review.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","jury-instructions"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=221495","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-marvin-lewis-hill-jr-d86919","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"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
