Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Apr 30, 2024
Aaron Barker vs. Missouri Department of Corrections, Et Al.
Aaron Barker appealed the grant of judgment on the pleadings in his declaratory judgment action against the Missouri Department of Corrections and the State of Missouri. Barker sought jail-time credit for a period he was on parole for one consecutive sentence while awaiting sentencing on another. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's decision, holding that Section 558.031.1(1) prohibits applying jail-time credit for the same period to two consecutive sentences, even if one credit was for time on parole.
