• finding no plain error as to defendant’s contention that the trial court, sua sponte, should have given a missing-evidence instruction
• determining probable cause for a warrantless arrest based on informant’s tip, the Supreme Court looked to (1) the reliability of the informant, (2) the details contained in the tip; and (3) the degree of independent police corroboration
• “In demonstrating that a forfeited error is prejudicial, the burden of persuasion is on [the defendant].”
• “Where the informant is a known, law abiding citizen reporting a crime, the informant is considered presumptively reliable, because the informant has no connection to the criminal world and no reason to fabricate the story.”
