CHRISTOPHER B. SHULTZ, Defendant- Missouri Cases

Christopher B. Shultz appealed his convictions for harassment, stalking, and tampering with a victim, arguing insufficient evidence for tampering and requesting plain-error review for jury instruction and preliminary hearing issues. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, affirmed the judgment. The court found sufficient evidence supported the tampering conviction and declined plain-error review for the remaining points, concluding Shultz failed to demonstrate manifest injustice.

Christopher Shultz appealed his conviction for two counts of tampering with a judicial officer, prosecuting attorney Amanda Oesch, following a jury trial. Shultz challenged the sufficiency of the evidence, the admission of prior bad acts, and the denial of his motion for a change of judge. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding sufficient evidence to support the convictions, declining plain error review for the prior bad acts, and concluding the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the change of judge motion.
