Hovis's ex-wife testified he was not invited and had a court order to stay away, and security footage showed him inside the home. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, concluding that the State presented sufficient evidence to support the conviction, including reasonable inferences from Hovis's actions. The court found no merit in Hovis's argument that the State failed to present evidence from all residents.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","other","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=205814","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-plaintiff-respondent-v-timothy-wayne-hovis-defendant-ap-d37942","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"}]}
