Christopher Fields challenged the Missouri Board of Probation and Parole's determination that he must serve 85% of his nine-year involuntary manslaughter sentence before parole eligibility, arguing a 2017 statutory amendment removed this requirement. The trial court granted the Board's motion for judgment on the pleadings. The appellate court affirmed, holding that Fields's claim for retroactive application of the amended statute was barred by § 1.160, which fixes punishment according to the law in effect at the time of the offense.
