The trial court sentenced him as a persistent felony offender to seven years imprisonment. The appellate court affirmed Steward's conviction for resisting a lawful stop but remanded the case for correction of the judgment and resentencing as a class A misdemeanor. The court held that the evidence was insufficient to enhance the offense to a felony because the statute does not permit enhancement for resisting a lawful stop \"for a felony offense\" and the jury was not required to find that Steward fled in a manner creating a substantial risk of serious physical injury or death.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","jury-instructions","appellate-procedure","other","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=165840","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-patrick-jerome-steward-appellant-108086","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":40,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction","text: felony"],"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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
