Hanna appealed his conviction for first-degree murder of his father, raising two points of error. First, he argued the trial court plainly erred by not sua sponte striking a juror who expressed an inability to sit in judgment. Second, he claimed the court plainly erred by admitting evidence that he did not complete a handwriting exemplar, suggesting consciousness of guilt. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, declining plain error review for both points because neither facially established substantial grounds for believing a manifest injustice resulted.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=209853","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-shawn-c-hanna-appellant-d37640","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"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","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
