The Missouri State Highway Patrol opposed, arguing the offense was ineligible for expungement under section 610.140, which excludes felonies where death is an element. The circuit court granted expungement, interpreting the statute to require actual death as a required element. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the resisting arrest statute's reference to a \"substantial risk of serious physical injury or death\" does not make death an element for expungement ineligibility.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=216074","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/dd-petitioner-respondent-v-missouri-state-highway-patrol-respondent-appel-d38372","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: felony","text: conviction"],"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"}]}
