Supreme Court of Missouri / Nov 22, 2022
Kyle G. Petersen, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.
Kyle G. Petersen was found guilty of driving while intoxicated as a persistent offender following a bench trial. He appealed, arguing the circuit court erred by not suppressing breath test results and observations of impairment, claiming Fourth Amendment violations. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, holding that Petersen failed to preserve his objections for appellate review by not renewing them specifically at trial. The Court declined to conduct plain error review as it was not requested or argued.
