He argued the circuit court erred by striking his motion to disqualify the assistant prosecuting attorney and the Cole County Prosecutor's Office due to a conflict of interest, as the attorney had previously represented Moore as a public defender. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the circuit court abused its discretion by failing to ensure a conflict-free prosecution and that the prosecutor's office should be disqualified and a special prosecutor appointed.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=210034","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-christopher-michael-patrick-moore-d86007","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: criminal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
