The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment. It held that the legislature intended the 2016 juvenile sentencing scheme to apply retroactively to juvenile offenders who committed first-degree murder prior to the bill's enactment, thereby making Henry's sentence lawful.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=192413","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/trevon-henry-v-state-of-missouri-d84685","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: sentence"],"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"}]}
