The circuit court had denied expungement of the felony conviction based on its interpretation of prior convictions under section 610.140.5. The appellate court, relying on its recent precedent in R.G. v. Missouri State Highway Patrol, reversed the denial of expungement for the 2000 conviction and remanded with instructions to grant it, while affirming the expungement of a 2003 misdemeanor conviction.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=149414","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/ws-v-jackson-county-prosecutor-et-al-d82664","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: felony","text: conviction"],"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"}]}
