2018 Bill(s)
CCS HB 1633 Sponsor:Corlew, Kevin Status: Conference: CCR to S Description: Restrict when a judge must instruct a jury about lesser included offenses in a criminal case. Restrict judicial review of a conviction on the basis that the defense did not request lesser included offenses instructions. Relates to Keith Meiners v. Mo. in which the state Supreme Court rejected overturning a murder conviction because the defendant's attorney did not request the judge for instructions on a lessor-included offense possibility (manslaughter rather than 2nd degree murder).
