Opinion
Order
Vernando Smith appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Platte County (“trial court”) in which Smith was convicted of, and sentenced for, assault of a law enforcement officer in the first degree and armed criminal action. On appeal, Smith argues that the trial court plainly erred in what Smith deems as sentencing retaliation by the trial court triggered by Smith’s decision to exercise his constitutional right to trial. Finding no evidence in the record to support Smith’s sentencing retaliation claim, we affirm in this per curiam order and have provided the parties a legal memorandum explaining our legal reasoning for today’s ruling. Rule 30.25(b).
