Seals sought a writ of prohibition to prevent the trial court from prosecuting him on domestic assault (Count I) and victim tampering (Count III), arguing that Count I was barred by double jeopardy and Count III was contingent on Count I. The appellate court quashed its preliminary writ of prohibition. It found the issue regarding Count I moot because the State had already withdrawn the charge, and held that the victim tampering charge (Count III) could proceed independently as a stand-alone offense.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=139935","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-ex-rel-felix-m-seals-relator-v-the-honorable-calvin-hol-d35902","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"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"}]}
