Despite the Department of Corrections reporting Young's successful completion and recommending release on probation, the circuit court denied probation without holding a hearing within the statutory 120-day timeframe. The appellate court issued a permanent writ of mandamus, directing the circuit court to rescind its order and release Young on probation, holding that the court lacked authority to deny probation without the required hearing.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=134436","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-john-jason-young-v-the-honorable-r-brent-elliott-d82335","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: felony","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"}]}
