Stone sought a declaration that the 2019 amendments to § 558.019, RSMo, should be retroactively applied to recalculate his life sentences for first-degree robbery from fifty years to thirty years, thereby mandating an immediate parole hearing. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, finding that Stone's offense of first-degree robbery is among those listed in subsection 2 of § 558.019, and thus he does not satisfy all elements required for the retroactive application of subsection 6.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","administrative-law"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=218955","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/lester-a-stone-v-missouri-board-of-probation-and-parole-d87333","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: probation"],"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":"appellant"}]}
