STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. DONALD CURTIS BILLINGS

Donald Curtis Billings (“Defendant”) appeals from his conviction for one count of driving while intoxicated. He claims (1) the trial court plainly erred in allowing the State to both adduce evidence and to argue about evidence that Defendant refused to answer questions after having been advised of his Miranda1 rights and (2) the trial court plainly erred in allowing the State to both adduce evidence and to argue about evidence that Defendant requested an attorney after having been advised of his Miranda rights. Defendant’s claims are without merit, and we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
