State v. Jacobson

The State of Missouri (“State”) appeals from the judgment of the Circuit Court of Saline County vacating the defendant Andrew Trae Jacobson’s (“Jacobson”) finding of guilt by a jury of the offense of armed criminal action. In its sole point on appeal, the State argues the trial court erred in sua sponte entering its judgment of acquittal following the jury’s guilty verdict for armed criminal action associated with the accompanying felony conviction for second-degree assault because the record contains sufficient evidence to support the conviction. We reverse and remand for sentencing.
