pattern instruction in Missouri

2014State v. Beck, 167 S.W.3d 767, 777-78 (Mo.App.W.D.2005) (overruled on unrelated grounds by State v. Bolden, 371 S.W.3d 802, 806 (Mo. banc 2012) (citing State v. Carson, 941 S.W.2d 518, 520 (Mo. banc 1997)).

1998We do not ignore the State’s claim that the trial court was bound to give the pattern instruction without modification because MAI-CR3d 306.06 “specifically indicates that the victim’s name is to be used in the instruction.” However, it is an argument that disregards State v. Carson, 941 S.W.2d 518 (Mo. banc 1997).

1994State v. Olds, 831 S.W.2d 713, 721 (Mo.App.1992).

1993Because this was the applicable instruction provided by MAI-CR, the trial court was required to give Instruction No. 5 “as written,” State v. Olds, 831 S.W.2d 713, 721 (Mo.App.1992), to the exclusion of any other instruction.

1997The Missouri Supreme Court has held that the “firmly convinced” language does not lower the proof required of the state in criminal eases to something less than “proof beyond a reasonable doubt.” State v. Antwine, 743 S.W.2d 51, 62-63 (Mo.banc 1987).

1991Appellant acknowledges that the Missouri Supreme Court upheld as constitutional the language contained in the reasonable doubt instruction in State v. Antwine, 743 S.W.2d 51, 62-63 (Mo. banc 1987); cert. denied, 486 U.S. 1017 , 108 S.Ct. 1755 , 100 L.Ed.2d 217 (1988).

1997Nevertheless, “[t]he giving or failing to give a pattern instruction is deemed to constitute error, but the prejudicial effect is a matter to be determined on appeal.” State v. Potter, 747 S.W.2d 300, 306 (Mo.App.1988).

1993Com'n 829 S.W.2d 648, 653 (Mo.App.1992) that MAI does not contain an appropriate pattern instruction for waiver of sovereign immunity and a verdict director may be based on the elements set out in § 537.600. 3 Additionally, there is no MAI dealing with tort claims against public employees.

1993Com'n, 829 S.W.2d 648, 653 (Mo.App.1992) that MAI does not contain an appropriate pattern instruction for waiver of sovereign immunity and a verdict director may be based on the elements set out in § 537.600. [3] Additionally, there is no MAI dealing with tort claims against public employees.

1992State v. Olds, 831 S.W.2d 713, 721 [16] (Mo.App.1992); State v. Turner-Bey, 812 S.W.2d 799, 805 (Mo.App.1991).

1992State v. Turner-Bey, 812 S.W.2d 799, 805 (Mo.App.1991). “[0]nce a pattern instruction has been adopted by the Missouri Supreme Court, the appellate courts are powerless to declare the instruction erroneous.” State v. Turner, 705 S.W.2d 108, 110 (Mo.App.1986).

1986State v. Turner, 705 S.W.2d 108, 110 (Mo.App.1986).

1986The pattern instruction on damages, MAI 4.01 [1980 Revision], refers to damages sustained “as a direct result of the occurrence mentioned in the evidence.” As explained in Vest v. City National Bank and Trust Co., 470 S.W.2d 518, 520-21 (Mo.1971), the word “occurrence” should be adequate except in cases where there is evidence that two different occurrences produced the injury, with the defendant being responsible for only one.

1986In such circumstances, as pointed out in Woodfin, 559 S.W.2d at 276 [1], a phrase identifying the alleged inci dent to which each verdict directing instruction refers should be added in using the proper pattern instruction submitting the charged offense.

1985They had before them, and quote in the Committee's comment on MAI 23.05, the very language in Wilson v. Murch, supra, which the defendant said should have been used in the pattern instruction in lieu of the language which was used_ It is therefore clear that the Supreme Court has considered and rejected the language for which the defendant contends.

1978It has been stated that the doctrine enounced in the Restatement, supra, “together with all of its technicalities is firmly embedded in the jurisprudence of this jurisdiction, . . . and the problem is whether the facts and circumstances of this occurrence reasonably fit into the pattern of the rule as it has been established in Missouri.” Dean v. Safeway Stores, 300 S.W.2d 431, 432 (Mo.1957); Hokanson v. Joplin Rendering Company, Inc., 509 S.W.2d 107, 110 [1, 2] (Mo.1974).

1958In Dean v. Safeway Stores, Mo.Sup., 300 S.W.2d 431, 432 , the court said the rule as declared and set forth in the Restatement is firmly imbedded in the jurisprudence of this jurisdiction, for the time being, and the problem is whether the facts and circumstances of the occurrence in question reasonably fit into the pattern of the rule as it has been established in Missouri.

2024The Notes on Use similarly do not require the pattern instruction to be modified to include a jury finding that the weapon in question is not an “antique firearm.” 6 In fact, the Notes on Use contain no mention of “antique firearm.” “Whenever there is an MAI–CR instruction applicable under the law …, the MAI–CR instruction is to be given to the exclusion of any other instruction.” State v. Deck, 303 S.W.3d 527, 545 (Mo. banc 2010) (quoting State v. Ervin, 979 S.W.2d 149, 158 (Mo. banc 1998)) (alteration in original).

2021We do not reweigh the evidence but instead “accept as true all evidence tending to prove guilt together with all reasonable inferences that support the verdict, and ignore all contrary evidence and inferences.” State v. Holmes, 399 S.W.3d 809, 812 (Mo. 3 Although Umfleet provided citation to MAI-CR 3d 304.06 for the pattern instruction for attempt, there is no functional difference for purposes of this appeal from the applicable version MAI-CR 4th 404.06. 4 All Rule references are to Mo.

2011See Childers, 799 S.W.2d at 142 . 2 Those decisions that do discuss MAI 82.24, however, explain that the pattern instruction is based upon “the general principle ... that in the absence of prejudice to the insurer, the insureds ‘failure to comply in some immaterial respect does not justify a disclaimer of liability[.]’ ” Valiant v. American Family Mut.
