He argued there was insufficient evidence to prove his 1996 conviction was an intoxication-related traffic offense (IRTO) and insufficient evidence to prove he was intoxicated while operating a vehicle. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, holding that the State presented sufficient evidence for both the chronic offender status and the temporal connection between his vehicle operation and intoxication.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=228378","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-ryan-james-appellant-113167","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: evidence"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
