View this case - free

View this case - free

State v. White, WD65067, COURT OF APPEALS OF MISSOURI, WESTERN DISTRICT, April 10, 2007, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's second-degree murder and armed criminal action convictions were reversed as the trial court plainly erred in failing to instruct the jury on the use of force in self-defense where the victim's relentless pursuit and his struggle over the loaded weapon left defendant in the position of having to shoot first or risk being shot.

Williams v. Silvola, WD 66055, COURT OF APPEALS OF MISSOURI, WESTERN DISTRICT, April 10, 2007, Opinion Filed
View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court did not err in finding ambiguous "subject to the law of the state of the occurrence" language contained in an insured's seven policies. Thus, although the insured resided in Kansas and the accident for which insured sought UM coverage occurred in Missouri, ambiguities were construed in insured's favor to allow her to stack coverage.
