The Supreme Court of Missouri quashed the preliminary writ of prohibition. The Court held that Richardson's application was untimely because the \"initial plea\" refers to the first plea in the criminal case, not subsequent pleas to new charges, and the \"designation of the trial judge\" occurred when the judge was first assigned, not when new charges were filed.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=135695","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-mario-richardson-relator-v-the-honorable-brian-h-may-respond-c97179","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
