State v. Phillips

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided August 28, 2007

Missouri Court of Appeals · decided 2007-08-28

Decided 2007-08-28

¶1ORDER

PER CURIAM.

¶2Dwayne Phillips (hereinafter, “Defendant”) appeals from the judgment entered after a jury found him guilty of robbery in the first degree, Section 569.020 RSMo (2000). The trial court sentenced Defendant to ten years’ imprisonment.

¶3On appeal, Defendant raises three allegations of error. He claims the trial court plainly erred in: (1) not granting a mistrial after the State misstated the law in its closing argument; (2) not granting a mistrial after the State injected Defendant’s character into the trial by ascribing prejudicial meanings to his tattoos; and (3) submitting the robbery in the first degree instruction to the jury.

¶4We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal. An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties only setting forth the reasons for our decision.

¶5The judgment is affirmed pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
