Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
State of Missouri vs. Robert G. Donnell
Robert Donnell was convicted of possession of a controlled substance, burglary, and resisting arrest following a jury trial. On appeal, Donnell argued the trial court plainly erred in admitting methamphetamine found in his pocket, claiming it was the product of an unconstitutional search and seizure. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, declining plain error review because Donnell had affirmatively stated "no objection" to the evidence at trial and strategically used his possession of methamphetamine in his defense.
