Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Anthony Rowell vs. Missouri Department of Corrections
Anthony Rowell appealed the circuit court's grant of judgment on the pleadings to the Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC). Rowell sought credit against his sentences for time spent in custody prior to the commencement of his sentences, arguing he pled sufficient facts under section 558.031. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that Rowell's petition contained sufficient allegations that, if proven, could establish his entitlement to presentence confinement credit, rejecting the DOC's arguments regarding bond status and the controlling nature of case numbers.
