The trial court had found that the State made a willful or bad faith discovery violation by failing to produce an ATF report and that further delays would violate Nixon's right to a speedy trial. The appellate court reversed, holding that the State did not violate discovery rules because the ATF report was not subject to the trial court's jurisdiction under federal Touhy regulations, and therefore the speedy trial claim also failed.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","governmental-immunity"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=195993","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-appellant-v-rachel-nixon-respondent-110548","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"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: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
