Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Oct 17, 2023
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. KENNY JACKSON, Defendant-Appellant
Kenny Jackson appealed his convictions for drug trafficking, possession with intent to distribute, and unlawful firearm possession after a jury trial. The appellate court dismissed Jackson's appeal regarding the possession with intent to distribute charge as moot because the trial court had vacated his sentence and expunged related records in a separate proceeding. The court affirmed the remaining convictions, finding no plain error in the jury instructions for drug trafficking and sufficient evidence to support the unlawful firearm possession conviction, and declining plain error review for other claims.
