Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Mar 8, 2021
STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent vs. DENNY E. TROLINGER, Appellant
Denny Trolinger was convicted of unlawful use of a weapon and appealed, seeking plain error review of an unpreserved claim. He argued the trial court should have sua sponte stricken a venireperson for cause due to potential bias regarding explanations for deception. The appellate court declined to exercise its discretion for plain error review, finding no manifest injustice. The judgment of the trial court was affirmed.
