The Director of Revenue (DOR) subsequently revoked his driving privileges, arguing that a finding of guilt under section 577.599 RSMo mandates revocation under section 302.462.1 RSMo. Ekstam sought judicial review, contending an SIS is not a \"conviction\" as required by the statute. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment reinstating Ekstam's driving privileges, holding that section 302.462.1 requires both a finding of guilt and a conviction, and an SIS does not constitute a conviction.","primaryTopic":"administrative-law","topicSlugs":["administrative-law","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","criminal-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=163777","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/spencer-bradley-ekstam-respondent-v-director-of-revenue-state-of-missouri-108230","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":40,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: sentence","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":"respondent"}]}
