State v. Watson

322 S.W.3d 632, 2010 Mo. App. LEXIS 1360, 2010 WL 3971309

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Michael L. Watson (Defendant) appeals from the trial court’s judgment, following a jury trial, convicting him of second degree tampering, Section 569.090. On appeal, Defendant argues that the trial court committed instructional error when it failed to instruct the jury sua sponte regarding a claim of right defense to an offense of tampering. We affirm the trial court’s judgment.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find Defendant is entitled to no relief on appeal. An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties setting forth the reasons for our decision.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
