State v. Shelton
State v. Shelton
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
Dwayne Q. Shelton (Defendant) appeals the judgment of conviction entered by the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis after a jury found him guilty of first-degree statutory sodomy in violation of section 566.062. Defendant claims the trial court erred by submitting the verdict director to the jury because the instruction violated his right to a unanimous jury verdict under article I, section 22(a) of the Missouri Constitution and State v. Celis-Garcia, 344 S.W.3d 150 (Mo. banc 2011).
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find no error. No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law. We have, however, prepared a memorandum opinion for the use of the parties only setting forth the reasons for our decision.
We affirm the judgment pursuant to Rule 30.25(b).
