PER CURIAM.
Ricky Don Ralston (“Defendant”) appeals the judgment entered after a jury convicted him of second-degree statutory sodomy (Count I), second-degree statutory rape (Count II), and sexual misconduct involving a child less than 15 years of age by indecent exposure (“sexual misconduct”) (Count III). See sections 566.034, 566.064 and 566.083.ia).1
Defendant’s first two points challenge the sufficiency of the State’s evidence to prove: (1) second-degree statutory sodomy “as it was charged in [the] information”2 because the victim testified about a different act and a nurse practitioner’s testimony was unclear as to the act alleged by the State; and (2) that either of “two different type of acts of indecent exposure” occurred during the time frame charged for sexual misconduct. Point III charges plain error in that the verdict-directing instruction for sexual misconduct “failed to specify a particular act or instruct the jurors that they must unanimously agree on the same act” in a multiple-acts case contrary to State v. Celis-Garcia, 344 S.W.3d 150 (Mo. banc 2011).
For reasons explained herein, we deny all three points and affirm the judgment and convictions.3
General Principles of Review
“Appellate review of a sufficiency of the evidence claim ‘is limited to determining whether there is sufficient evidence from which a reasonable juror might have found the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.’ ” State v. Bowman, 337 S.W.3d 679, 688 (Mo. banc 2011) (quoting State v. Crawford, 68 S.W.3d 406, 408 (Mo. banc 2002)). “This is not an assessment of whether the Court believes that the evidence at trial established guilt beyond a reasonable doubt but rather a question of whether, in light of the evidence most favorable to the State, any rational fact-finder ‘could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.’ ” State v. Nash, 339 S.W.3d 500, 509 (Mo. banc 2011) (quoting State v. Bateman, 318 S.W.3d 681, 687 (Mo. banc 2010) (internal quotations omitted)).
The jury may accept the testimony of a witness in whole or in part, or reject it entirely. Nash, 339 S.W.3d at 509. Ac[514]*514cordingly, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict and give the State the benefit of all reasonable inferences, but we do “not supply missing evidence or give the State the benefit of unreasonable, speculative or forced inferences.” State v. Langdon, 110 S.W.3d 807, 811-12 (Mo. banc 2003).
Facts and Procedural Background
D.L. was born in June 1993. When she was in the seventh grade, Defendant moved in with D.L.’s mother (“Mother”). In the home at that time were D.L., her younger brother (J.L.), and her younger sister. D.L.’s biological father (“Father”) sometimes stayed with them “a few nights ... every once in a while.” The family subsequently moved with Defendant to a residence in Taney County on a particular road where D.L. lived for “almost a year, not quite” (“the Taney County address”).4 “[H]alfway through” that time, Defendant’s daughter, S.,5 also lived there. D.L. described the residence as a mobile home. D.L.’s bedroom — which lacked a door— was “[i]n the very back of the house.” She shared the room with her younger sister.
In July 2009, when she was sixteen, D.L. left the Taney County address and moved in with her aunt and uncle. In September 2009, she began meeting with a counselor. In January 2010, D.L. told her counselor that she had “been having dreams” that stopped when she “moved out[.]” She told her counsel that “they were so vivid and real it scared [her]. And [she] didn’t know what they were.” D.L. described her dreams to the counselor, and the counselor had her write them down with “every detail.]” D.L. eventually “reach[ed] a point” where she was “positive” that the dreams were real “[a]nd not imagined[.]”
D.L. testified that “[o]n the weekends” when her sister was away at a friend’s house, Defendant “would come into [D.L.]’s room in the middle of the night,” undress her, and rape her. D.L. testified that Defendant put his penis inside her vagina and also touched her vagina with his mouth. D.L. explained that Mother gave her alcohol, sleeping pills, and the pain medication “Ketoprofen.” Mother also “put [D.L.] on birth control[.]” D.L. testified that Defendant “would add alcohol to [her] drinks.” Defendant did not come into D.L.’s room unless she had been given alcohol, sleeping pills, or both. D.L. said she was awake when the described events happened, but it “felt like [she] was watching it from a different perspective^]” She testified that this happened “[t]hree or four, maybe more than that” times, and it only happened at the Taney County address.
Mitzi Huffman testified for the State. She was “a registered nurse, family nurse practitioner ... a sexual assault nurse examiner, and a forensic interviewer.” In February 2010, Ms. Huffman interviewed and physically examined D.L. Ms. Huffman observed a “partial,” “well[-]healed” “tear through [the] posterior fourchette” of D.L.’s hymenal area, and she opined that the injury was “consistent with blunt force trauma.” She could not indicate the cause of the blunt force trauma.
On cross-examination, Ms. Huffman indicated that she had documented in her records that D.L. reported “penile and finger, digital penetration,” and that the “sexual encounters” with Defendant happened [515]*515“two to three times a month” from “Christmas of '08 till [sic] May of '09.” Ms. Huffman understood this to mean that D.L. was “[e]ither having penile or digital penetration” “two to three times per month[.]” Ms. Huffman testified that “[b]y [her] records it says that [D.L.] has denied oral sex by [Defendant]. And [D.L.] denies anal sex.”
J.L. was born in January 1996, and he “last lived” with Mother and Defendant at the Taney County address in March 2009, when he was 13 years old. J.L. testified that, back then, “[i]f [Defendant] was [urinating] outside and [J.L.] was outside doing yard work with [Defendant] he would turn around and call [J.L.] a ‘cock gazer.’ ” When Defendant showed “his genitals and callfed] [J.L.] a ‘cock gazer,’ ” it made J.L. feel “[n]ot good at all. Really bad.” “It made [him] feel sick.” The prosecutor asked J.L. if Defendant exposed his genitals and called J.L. a “cock gazer” only once or more than once while J.L. was living at the Taney County address. J.L. stated that “[i]t happened a lot and very often.”
J.L. briefly mentioned something else for which we quote his entire testimony:
[J.L.]: [Defendant] would pull the skin around his testicles really tight and call them “baby brains” and show them to me.
[State]: Okay. How was it that that came about?
[J.L.]: He would just kind of do it randomly.
[State]: Okay. Was it, uh, inside the house or outside or somewhere else?
[J.L.]: Normally it would be inside the house, and I was like going from room to room. I would walk around the corner and he’d kind of ambush me.
S. and other witnesses testified on behalf of Defendant. S. testified that she stayed with Defendant “maybe like a month ... around Christmas” “maybe two years” before the trial that started on December 12, 2011. She described Defendant’s residence as a trailer having two bedrooms, one of which she shared with D.L. and D.L.’s younger sister when S. was not sleeping in the living room. She confirmed that D.L.’s room was in “the very back” of the trailer and did not have a door.
Defendant testified on his own behalf. He said that the family had lived in various places, but they moved to a trailer at the Taney County address “at the beginning of '08.” Then, “[r]ight after Christmas [they] got another trailer” that was moved “down there.” Defendant testified that the first trailer “was pretty bad” and that the second trailer would permit “the kids” to “have their own rooms.” Defendant described that the trailer had a room for Mother and himself, and it had a room for “D.L.” that did not have a door. J.L. “slept in the living room,” “[a]long with [Father] when [Father] was there.” Defendant denied having “any type” of “sexual contact with [D.L.]” or having given her alcohol, but he admitted being aware that Mother gave D.L. “birth control” “because she was having cramps” and that Mother also gave D.L. “Ketoprofen” and possibly “sinus pills.”
Defendant denied ever purposefully showing his genitals to J.L. or making any statement regarding “baby brains” in reference to his genitals. He testified that “[J.L.] came around the corner one time” sometime “around March of 2009” when Defendant had been cutting wood and was urinating. Defendant stated that “[J.L.] looked down at [him], and [Defendant] made a statement: ‘What are you doing, cock gazing?’ ” Defendant testified that it happened in “a split second[,]” he was surprised by J.L., and [Defendant] turned [516]*516away. Defendant admitted that his question to J.L. was “[p]robably not the best choices of words[.]”
As relevant to the issues raised in this appeal, Count I charged Defendant with “statutory sodomy in the second degree” by having “deviate sexual intercourse with D.L.” when she “was less than seventeen years old[.]”6 Count II alleged the same age for D.L. as stated in count I, but it charged that Defendant committed “statutory rape in the second degree” by having “sexual intercourse” with D.L. Count III charged that Defendant committed “sexual misconduct involving a child by indecent exposure” by “knowingly expos[ing] his genitals to J.L., a child less than fourteen years of age, and [Defendant] did so knowing that such conduct was likely to cause affront or alarm to the child.” All three counts of the State’s information alleged that the charged conduct occurred “on or between December 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009[.]”
Instruction No. 5, the Count I verdict-directing instruction, directed the jury to determine, inter alia, whether “on or about between December 1, 2008, and August 31, 2009” Defendant “touched [D.L.’s] vagina with his hand[.]”
Instruction No. 9, which was patterned after MAI-CR 3d 320.29.1,7 was the verdict-directing instruction submitted by the State for the Count III sexual misconduct charge and read as follows:
As to Count III, if you find and believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that on or about between December 1, 2008, and August 31, 2009, in the County of Taney, State of Missouri, [Defendant] knowingly exposed his genitals to [J.L.], and
Second, that [Defendant knew or was aware that such conduct was likely to cause affront or alarm to [J.L.], and
Third, that at that time [J.L.] was twelve or thirteen years old, and
Fourth, that [Defendant knew or was aware [J.L.] was less than fifteen years of age, then you will find [Defendant guilty under Count III of sexual misconduct involving a child by indecent exposure.
However, unless you find and believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt each and all of these propositions, you must find [Defendant] not guilty of that offense.
Defendant voiced no objection to Instruction No. 9.
The jury found Defendant guilty of each count, and Defendant (who had waived jury sentencing) was sentenced by the trial court. Additional facts related to the parties’ closing arguments will be set forth in the context of our analysis of Point III. We address Defendant’s points in the order presented.
Analysis
Point I — Sufficiency of the Evidence as to First-Degree Statutory Sodomy
Defendant’s first point contends: “the only act of deviate sexual intercourse testified to by [D.L.] was that there was mouth-to-genital contact, but the act ... [he] was charged with was hand-to-genital [517]*517contact, and the only act of deviate sexual intercourse testified to by [Ms. Huffman] was ‘digital penetration[.]’ ” Defendant further contends that Ms. Huffman “did not clearly elaborate as to what was penetrated, who did the penetration, or when that particular penetration occurred” (emphasis added).8
Regarding D.L.’s trial testimony, Defendant is correct. While she testified that Defendant touched her vagina with his mouth, she did not expressly state that Defendant touched her vagina with his hand at that or any other time. Defendant argues that while “mouth-to-genital contact is covered by the definition of deviate sexual intercourse, that was not the act the jury was asked to find by the verdict director, and thus [it] cannot be used to support [Defendant’s] conviction,” citing State v. Miller, 372 S.W.3d 455, 466 (Mo. banc 2012).9 While Defendant’s argument, as far as it goes, is correct, it does not entitle him to relief because other evidence sufficiently supported the hand-to-genital conduct alleged in the jury instruction.
As our high court stated in Miller, “[a] criminal defendant, ‘as a matter of due process, is entitled to notice of the charges against him and may not be convicted of any offense of which the information or indictment does not give him fair notice.’ ” 372 S.W.3d at 466 (quoting State v. Goddard, 649 S.W.2d 882, 889 (Mo. banc 1983)). “The State is required to prove the elements of the offense it charged, not the one it might have charged.” Miller, 372 S.W.3d at 467. The defendant’s appeal in Miller included a sufficiency of the evidence challenge regarding two convictions, first-degree statutory sodomy and deviate sexual assault. Id. at 462-63. The alleged crimes involved the same victim and were charged and instructed as having occurred during the same 2004-2005 time frame. Id. The evidence at trial, however, was that these events had actually occurred at a much earlier point in time, between 1998 and 1999, when the victim was even younger. Id. at 463-64. The State argued that it met its obligation to prove that the charged conduct occurred when the victim was under the statutory age limitation of 14 years “despite the disparity in the dates[.]” Id. at 464.
After first noting that “[t]ime is not essential in child sexual abuse cases because it can be impossible to ascertain specific dates of the sexual abuse[,]” the Court reasoned that it is still necessary to charge the time of the offense with enough specificity to provide notice to a defendant, protect against double jeopardy, and protect the “ ‘reliability of a unanimous verdict.’ ” Id. at 464-65 (quoting 41 Am. Jur.2d Indictments and Information [Section] 128 [ (2005) ]). The Court reasoned that it would be a violation of Miller’s right to be free from double jeopardy if Miller’s conviction of an offense charged as having occurred in 2004-2005 were allowed to [518]*518stand based upon evidence from 1998-1999 because “nothing would preclude the State, in the future, from charging Miller” with the same offense for conduct occurring in 1998-1999. Id. at 468.
Here, Count I charged second-degree statutory sodomy via “deviate sexual intercourse” that allegedly occurred “on or between December 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009[.]” Instruction No. 5 referenced the same time frame, and it directed the jury to determine whether Defendant committed deviate sexual intercourse by “touch[ing D.L.’s] vagina with his hand[.]” The following testimony from D.L. was relevant to that claim. D.L. moved from the Taney County address where she lived with Defendant in July 2009 after living there “not quite” a year; Defendant’s daughter came to stay with them “halfway through” this time; the room D.L. shared with her sister in the two-bedroom residence at the Taney County address was at the back of the trailer and had no door; and Defendant’s sexual contact with her had not happened at any residence other than the Taney County address.
Ms. Huffman also testified about certain key facts relevant to the claim. D.L. told her that the “sexual encounters” happened from Christmas of 2008 until May 2009; she documented that D.L. stated that she had experienced penile and digital penetration; and D.L. denied having engaged in either oral or anal sex.10
Defendant argues that “[Ms.] Huffman’s testimony did not clearly establish that [D.L.] told her that during the charged time period that [Defendant’s hands touched her vagina.” Defendant cites State v. Goad, 926 S.W.2d 152, 156 (Mo. App. E.D.1996), where the court found that a sodomy conviction could not stand on a caseworker’s testimony that the child victim showed the caseworker the vaginal area of a drawing and said that was where the defendant had touched her. But in Goad, the victim did not specify what the defendant had used when touching her. Id. at 157. Here, the jury could reasonably infer from a combination of the testimony provided by D.L. and nurse Huffman that the “who,” “what,” and “when” challenged by Defendant had been sufficiently proven.
Who had deviate sexual intercourse with D.L. ?
A reasonable juror could infer that Defendant was the person D.L. was referring to while speaking with Ms. Huffman because it was Defendant’s sexual activity with D.L. that was the subject matter of Ms. Huffman’s examination of D.L., and D.L. did not refer to any other person during that examination and interview.
What was penetrated with what?
The jury could also reasonably infer that Defendant penetrated D.L.’s vagina with his finger. • Ms. Huffman testified that D.L. reported “penile and finger, digital penetration,” and she understood that this meant “[e]ither having penile or digital penetration” “two to three times a month” during the relevant time frame. Defendant argues that “the use of the word ‘either’ allows for the possibility that it was only penile penetration[.]” While that is true, and the jury could have drawn that conclusion from her testimony, it was reasonable for the jury to infer instead that [519]*519both penile and digital penetration happened during the time period described. See State v. Freeman, 269 S.W.3d 422, 424 n. 4 (Mo. banc 2008) (“the fact that the jury selected between valid inferences is not a basis for reversal”); and State v. Chaney, 967 S.W.2d 47, 54 (Mo. banc 1998) (“[t]he equally valid inferences rule was effectively abolished by State v. Grim [, 854 S.W.2d 403 (Mo. banc 1993) ]”). And this ability to choose between reasonable inferences also permitted the jury to reasonably infer that what was being digitally penetrated was D.L.’s vagina, not her anus, based on D.L.’s statement to Ms. Huffman that she had not engaged in “anal sex” with Defendant. Finally, the difference between Ms. Huffman’s testimony that D.L. denied oral sex and D.L.’s trial testimony that Defendant touched her vagina with his mouth does not remove the probative value of Ms. Huffman’s other testimony.11 “A jury may accept part of a witness’s testimony, but disbelieve other parts.” State v. Pond, 131 S.W.3d 792, 794 (Mo. banc 2004).
When did the penetration occur?
The jury could reasonably infer from the evidence presented, including the descriptions of the trailers given by Defendant and S., that the conduct charged in Count I occurred in D.L.’s bedroom in the second trailer, which Defendant testified they had obtained “right after” Christmas 2008 and before D.L. moved out in July 2009. Ms. Huffman had also noted the time period of the acts as between Christmas 2008 and May 2009 based upon D.L.’s statement to her. Both the inferred and stated time periods were within the time frame charged.
A reasonable juror could find from the aforementioned evidence that each of the elements of Count I, as alleged in Instruction No. 5, was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Point I is denied.
Point II — Sufficiency of- the Evidence as to Sexual Misconduct
In his second point, Defendant contends “[t]he trial court erred in overruling [his] motion for judgment of acquittal at the close of all the evidence” because J.L. “testified as to two different type of acts of indecent exposure, [but] the State failed to establish that either occurred during the charged time period” of “on or about between December 1, 2008, and August 31, 2009[.]” Defendant insists that J.L. “never testified to — nor was he asked — when the alleged exposures occurred.” Defendant argues that according to J.L.’s testimony and Defendant’s testimony about moving into the first trailer “at the beginning of’ 2008, “the alleged exposure would have occurred sometime between January[ ] 2008, and March[ ] 2009.” Defendant also argues that a different time frame could have been established by D.L.’s testimony concerning the date that Defendant started living with them, calculated to be April 2006, and when D.L. said J.L. moved out, January 2009, except for “a couple of weeks” in Summer 2009.12
Defendant goes on to argue that “[a]s in Miller, because there was insufficient evidence proving that [Defendant] committed an act charged under Count [III] during the time period charged under the count, he is entitled to be discharged.” Defen[520]*520dant maintains that while it is “possible” that the offense occurred between December 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009, “[i]t is also possible that it occurred many months before that period. It cannot be determined from the record which of these is so.” As discussed in our analysis of Point I, the State was not required to eliminate other inferences that could be drawn from the testimony so long as the inference supporting the verdict was a reasonable one. See Freeman, 269 S.W.3d at 424 n. 4 (jury could select between valid inferences), and Chaney, 967 S.W.2d at 54 (equally valid inferences rule no longer controls).
Further, Defendant overlooks that J.L. testified that “those things” — referring to the exposures by Defendant — happened when J.L. was living at the Taney County address. J.L. testified that he left this residence in March 2009. The jury could reasonably infer that these offenses happened after Christmas 2008 when the family moved into the second trailer at the Taney County address, based upon the description of this residence by D.L., S., Defendant and J.L.’s testimony that the Taney County address had a room for D.L. Again, it did not matter that D.L. and J.L. testified to a somewhat different time period for when J.L. was residing in the trailer. The jury was free to accept some parts of a witness’s testimony and reject other parts. See Pond, 131 S.W.3d at 794. Thus, the jury could reasonably find from the evidence that Defendant exposed his genitals to J.L. between December 1, 2008 and August 31, 2009 as charged. Point II is denied.
Point III — Plain Error Claim as to Count III Verdict Director
In his final point, Defendant requests that we review the Count III verdict-directing instruction for plain error on the ground that it “failed to specify a particular act or instruct the jurors that they must unanimously agree on the same act” when “the State presented evidence of two types of exposure — [Defendant] urinating in front of [J.L.] and [Defendant] showing his testicles to [J.L.]” — and it was unclear “as to which act [Defendant] was found guilty[.]”13 In seeking plain error review, Defendant concedes that his claim was not properly preserved for appellate review as required under Rule 28.03 because he did not object at trial to the jury instruction he now claims resulted in • a manifest injustice. Indeed, as earlier noted, his converse instruction parroted the same language he now criticizes. “Any issue that was not preserved can only be reviewed for plain error[.]” State v. Severe, 307 S.W.3d 640, 642 (Mo. banc 2010); see also Rule 30.20.14
As we noted in State v. Dean, 382 S.W.3d 218 (Mo.App. S.D.2012):
Plain error review is discretionary. A defendant is not entitled to relief pursuant to the plain error rule unless he demonstrates that the error so substantially affected the defendant’s rights that a manifest injustice or a miscarriage of justice would inexorably result absent a correction of the error.... A claim of plain error places a much greater burden on a defendant than an assertion of prejudicial error. The outcome of plain error review, furthermore, depends heavily on the specific facts and circumstances of each case.
Id. at 223-24 (citations and quotation marks omitted). Plain error review involves a two-step analysis. First, we de[521]*521termine if there was plain error, i.e., evident, obvious and clear error affecting the defendant’s substantial rights. If we find plain error, our second step is to “decide whether the error actually resulted in manifest injustice or a miscarriage of justice.” Id. at 224.
Defendant’s plain error claim hinges upon Celis-Garcia, in which our supreme court noted that “a defendant does not waive plain error review by failing to object to a faulty jury instruction or by failing to submit a correct instruction.” 344 S.W.3d at 154 n. 3. The defendant in that case was charged with two counts of first-degree statutory sodomy — one for each of two victims — within a specific multi-month time frame. The verdict director for the first count read:
As to Count 1 regarding the defendant ... if you find and believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt: First, that between the dates of January 01, 2005 and March SI, 2006[], in the County of Saline, State of Missouri, the defendant or [her boyfriend] placed her or his hand on [victim’s] genitals, and Second, that such conduct constituted deviate sexual intercourse, and Third, that at that time [victim] was less than twelve years old, then you are instructed that the offense of statutory sodomy in the first degree has occurred, and if you further find and believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt: Fourth, that with the purpose of promoting or furthering the commission of that statutory sodomy in the first degree, the defendant ... acted together with or aided [her boyfriend] in committing that offense, then you will find the defendant ... guilty under Count 1 of statutory sodomy in the first degree. However, unless you find and believe from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt each and all of these propositions, you must find the defendant ... not guilty of that offense.
Id. at 154-55 (emphasis as added in the Court’s opinion; footnote omitted). The verdict director for the second count merely substituted the second victim’s name. Id. at 155. The State presented evidence involving one or both victims in seven separate incidents “of statutory sodomy that occurred at different times (some more than three days apart) and in different locations.” Id. at 156. Our high court found that it was “impossible to determine whether the jury unanimously agreed on any one of these separate incidents, [and, as a result,] the verdict directors violated [the defendant’s] constitutional right to a unanimous jury verdict under article I, section 22(a) of the Missouri Constitution.” 15 Id. at 158. The court held:
[T]o comply with the constitutional mandate that the jury reach a unanimous verdict, the verdict director not only must describe the separate criminal acts with specificity, but the court also must instruct the jury to agree unanimously on at least one of the specific criminal acts described in the verdict director. To the extent MAI-CR and its notes on use conflict with this substantive law, they are not binding.
Id.
Here, “[the] risk is exactly the same as identified in Celis-Garcia, and rendered [522]*522the instructions in this case erroneous.” Barmettler v. State, ED98568, 399 S.W.3d 523, 528 (Mo.App.E.D.2013). In light of our high court’s ruling in Celis-Garcia, the error in the Count III verdict-directing instruction was “evident, obvious and clear.” See Dean, 382 S.W.3d at 224.16 As a result, we next consider whether Defendant has demonstrated that the error resulted in manifest injustice.
An error warranting a new trial on the basis of plain error is generally one that is outcome determinative, and “the defendant bears the burden of establishing manifest injustice.” State v. Baxter, 204 S.W.3d 650, 652 (Mo. banc 2006). Defendant first argues that the manifest injustice here is much like the risk of a double-jeopardy violation identified in Miller.17 We are not persuaded by that argument. In Miller, the time frame for the conduct as charged (2004-05) was essentially replaced by proof at trial of an offense that occurred during an entirely different period of time (1998-99) — a time frame that would not have been apparent from a review of either the charge or the judgment of conviction. 372 S.W.3d at 463-64, 468. The instant case differs from Miller because, as discussed in our Point II analysis, the evidence established that the conduct at issue occurred within the time frame set forth in both the Information and the corresponding verdict-directing instruction.
Defendant alternatively argues that a manifest injustice resulted “because there simply is too strong a possibility that the jury did not unanimously agree on any single act of exposure[,]” and his defenses to the two different types of exposure were different. We are not persuaded by this argument either.
To reiterate, the outcome of plain error review “depends heavily on the specific facts and circumstances of each case.” Dean, 382 S.W.3d at 224. Barmettler illustrates this; it involved the same plain error as in Celis-Garcia but ruled differently as to prejudice. Given the trial record and defense strategy in Celis-Garcia, our supreme court found it “more likely that individual jurors convicted her on the basis of different acts.” 344 S.W.3d at 159. Barmettler’s different record yielded a different conclusion:
The facts of this case, however, are much different than Celis-Garcia. Although [the victim] made a passing reference in her testimony to the existence of other uncharged and ongoing incidents of abuse, the record shows that the evidence and arguments presented at trial focused almost exclusively on two specific alleged incidences of abuse. Because there was no emphasis or focus in this case by the State on the uncharged acts of sexual abuse, we find no basis in the record to hold that there was a reasonable risk that any jurors may have been confused or misled by the verdict directors....
399 S.W.3d at 530.
We find this case more like Barmettler than Celis-Garcia in this respect. J.L. did [523]*523mention the “baby brains” matter as we quoted in the facts — nine transcript lines in a two-day, 10-witness case that generated nearly 300 transcript pages of proceedings in the jury’s presence. But the trial as to J.L. focused almost exclusively on Defendant’s penis exhibitions — the “cock gazer” incidents that “happened a lot and very often” according to J.L. Indeed, we find no other reference to “baby brains,” “brains,” or even “testicles” in the State’s examination or cross-examination of any of the ten trial witnesses. This was true even when the State cross-examined Defendant; only “cock gazing” was discussed.
The parties’ closing arguments as to J.L. also focused on the cock gazing incidents. The State’s initial closing argument cited only cock gazing, as did the defense argument. The lone, one-sentence mention of “baby brains” occurred only in rebuttal, as part and in the context of the State’s fair reply to defense counsel’s attempt to depict cock gazing as a one-time accident.18
Defendant himself cites State v. Farris, 125 S.W.3d 382, 390 (Mo.App. W.D.2004), for the proposition that instructional error results in manifest injustice where it is apparent to an appellate court that such error affected the jury’s verdict. As Far-ris also notes, this is a defendant’s burden to prove. Id. Such effect was not apparent to the Eastern District in Barmettler and, based on the whole record here, is not apparent to us in this case. We reject Point III and affirm the judgment.19
DANIEL E. SCOTT, P.J., and MARY W. SHEFFIELD, J., concur.
DON E. BURRELL, J., concurs in part and dissents in part in separate opinion.
