The circuit court dismissed the charges, finding the alleged conduct was constitutionally protected and the Information failed to charge an offense. The appellate court affirmed the dismissal, concluding that the facts alleged in the Information, even if true, did not constitute a violation of law under the charged statutes, and thus did not reach the constitutional claims.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=208534","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-plaintiff-appellant-v-warren-dale-branning-defendant-re-d37795","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":40,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: criminal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
