On appeal, Frakes argued there was insufficient evidence to prove he knowingly operated the vehicle without consent, claiming he believed his girlfriend had permission. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, finding that testimony from multiple witnesses explicitly informing Frakes he was not allowed to use the vehicle provided sufficient evidence for a reasonable juror to conclude he acted knowingly.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=177198","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-nathaniel-james-frakes-appellant-108925","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: conviction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
