STATE v. MILLER KIRKLAND (2022)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. William M. MILLER-KIRKLAND, Appellant.

WD 83372

Decided: January 25, 2022

Division One: W. Douglas Thomson, Presiding Judge, Alok Ahuja, Judge and Karen King Mitchell, Judge

Michael J. Gunter, for Appellant. Evan J. Buchheim, Jefferson City, for Respondent.

ORDER

William M. Miller-Kirkland appeals from the judgment of the Circuit Court of Jackson County convicting him of first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Miller-Kirkland raises two points on appeal. First, he argues that the trial court plainly erred by failing to sua sponte intervene and issue a corrective instruction following the State's closing argument. Second, he argues that the trial court plainly erred in submitting to the jury an instruction on intoxication by drugs. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have provided an unpublished memorandum to the parties which sets forth the reasons for this order. Rule 30.25(b).
