State v. Watkins
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided January 27, 2009 · Dowd, Ahrens, Sullivan

State v. Watkins

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Chauncey L. Watkins, Jr. (“Defendant”) appeals from the judgment upon his conviction by a jury for stealing a motor vehicle, Section 570.080, RSMo 2000, for which Defendant was sentenced as a persistent offender to eight years’ imprisonment. Defendant contends the trial court erred in instructing the jury in a disjunctive single verdict directing instruction that it could convict Defendant of stealing a motor vehicle if the jury found he “took” or “used” the vehicle.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find the claims of error to be without merit. An opinion would have no precedential value nor serve any jurisprudential purpose. The parties have been furnished with a memorandum for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this order pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
