State v. Melton
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided November 13, 2012 · Gaertner, III, Lisa

State v. Melton

Opinion of the Court

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

Kerry Melton appeals the judgment entered upon a jury’s verdict convicting him of stealing and second-degree burglary. We find that the trial court did not plainly err in failing to sua sponte give a self-defense instruction for the charge of stealing. We affirm.

An extended opinion would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided the parties a memorandum setting forth the reasons for our decision. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed under Rule 30.25(b).
