Harris","caseNumber":"SC99977","court":"mo","courtLabel":"Supreme Court of Missouri","decisionDate":"2023-10-03","year":2023,"display_summary":"The State of Missouri appealed a circuit court order dismissing with prejudice some, but not all, charges against Semaj Harris. The Missouri Supreme Court dismissed the State's appeal, holding that the circuit court's order was not a final, appealable judgment because it did not adjudicate all counts in the multi-count indictment. The Court reaffirmed that the State's right to appeal in criminal cases under § 547.200.2 requires a final judgment, and the circumstances did not warrant treating the improper appeal as an application for an original writ.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","criminal-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=201734","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-v-harris-c99977","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"}]}
