Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Date unavailable
State of Missouri, Respondent, v. Brandie M. Farless, Appellant.
Brandie M. Farless appealed her conviction for possession of a controlled substance, for which she received a suspended sentence and was placed on probation. The appellate court dismissed her appeal, citing her ongoing violations of probation conditions, including drug use, failure to complete treatment, and absconding from supervision. Applying the escape rule, the court found that Farless's disregard for the judicial system justified denying her right to appeal.
