Benedict argued that the escape rule was inapplicable because the alleged error, an unauthorized sentence, arose after his return to custody. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the escape rule does not apply to errors that occurred after a defendant's return to custody, and therefore the motion court clearly erred in dismissing the motion.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=133335","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/robert-benedict-v-state-of-missouri-d81119","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: conviction","text: sentence"],"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"},{"slug":"family","label":"Family Law","href":"/practice-areas/family","score":4,"source":"text","evidence":["text: custody"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/family"}],"role":"appellant"},{"caseId":"moappsd:sd29822:undated","opinionId":"aa5e0e78-e5f1-5bdb-bb03-f82240614f05","slug":"state-of-missouri-respondent-v-robert-benedict-appellant-d29822","caseName":"STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent\nvs.\nROBERT BENEDICT, Appellant","caseNumber":"SD29822","court":"moappsd","courtLabel":"Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District","decisionDate":null,"year":2010,"display_summary":null,"primaryTopic":null,"topicSlugs":[],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=40838","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-robert-benedict-appellant-d29822","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
