(1993) Use of the word "any" in statute prohibiting possession of "any" weapon in a correctional facility is ambiguous. Defendant was significantly prejudiced by counsel's failure to raise the issue of double jeopardy when defendant was prosecuted for more than one offense for having more than one weapon in same place. State v. Baker, 850 S.W.2d 944 (Mo. App. E.D.).

(2003) Under rules of statutory construction, cellular telephone and charger do not fall within category of guns, knives, weapons, and other inherently dangerous instruments. State v. William, 100 S.W.3d 828 (Mo.App. W.D.).
