Although Griffith was released from custody and discharged from parole during the appeal, the Missouri Supreme Court exercised its discretion not to dismiss the case as moot. The Court held that the circuit court erred in placing Griffith on a third term of probation, as statutory guidelines permit only one new term of probation, rendering the third term void.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=140594","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-trevor-griffith-petitioner-v-anne-precythe-julie-kempker-and-c97056","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","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":"petitioner"}]}
