Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / May 6, 2022
BRIAUNA RAEANNA COLLINS, Respondent vs. DAVID JOE BANNISTER, JR., Appellant
David Joe Bannister, Jr. appealed from amended judgments of full orders of protection. During the underlying hearing, the sound recording equipment malfunctioned, preventing the creation of a transcript for appellate review. The appellate court reversed the trial court's judgments and remanded the case for a new trial, holding that an appealing party is entitled to a full transcript and a new trial is the appropriate remedy when the record is inadequate through no fault of the parties.
