Jones, who was incarcerated in a nearby county, was not brought before the court for the scheduled hearing. The Supreme Court of Missouri agreed, making the writ permanent and ordering Jones's discharge from probation, finding the circuit court failed to make every reasonable effort to conduct the hearing before the probation term expired.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"transferred","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=139777","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-ex-rel-travis-jones-relator-v-the-honorable-eric-eighmy-respondent-c97417","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":"respondent"}]}
