Judge Billings Writng Draws High Court's Ire
Circuit Judge James V. Billings of Kennett faced sharp criticism from a Missouri Supreme Court opinion last week for giving confusing puzzle like jury instructions in a murder case. The court reversed the conviction of Llovu Ervin and remanded for a new trial, citing unreadable phrasing and an awkward method that a jury could not sort. The opinion, joined by Chief Justice Emmett Al Tipton and Judge George R Ellisor, condemns the defective appeal record and instruction method.
