Hampton v. Stategreen
wyo · 1977 · cited in 1 Wyoming opinions naming this issue, 2020–2020
1 sentence

2020Nothing about this case approaches a “fundamental error” or constitutes “exceptional circumstances.” We should simply determine the question and answer were not prejudicial, and not address the second element of plain error—whether there was an obvious violation of a clear and unequivocal rule of law. [¶22] In 1977, Justice Thomas attempted to provide more specific guidance for the application of plain error, and stated there must exist “a clear and unequivocal rule of law which the particular facts transgress in a clear and obvious, not merely arguable, way.” Hampton v. State, 558 P.2d 504, 5
