Thompson, who was charged with possession of a controlled substance and unlawful use of a weapon. Thompson argued the possession charge was a lesser-included offense barred by double jeopardy. The appellate court reversed the dismissal, holding that the trial court's pre-trial dismissal was a final, appealable judgment, but that the double jeopardy protection against multiple punishments does not attach until sentencing, making the motion premature. The case was remanded for trial on both charges.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=139454","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-dymon-d-thompson-d81784","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"],"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"}]}
