Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Date unavailable
DENNIS R. RYNO, Plaintiff-Appellant v. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent-Respondent
Dennis R. Ryno appealed the denial of his petition to expunge criminal records related to harassment and stalking charges. The trial court found that Ryno remained a threat to public safety and that expungement was not consistent with public welfare or the interests of justice. On appeal, Ryno argued he was denied the right to cross-examine the victim, that the court used closed records, and that the findings were not supported by substantial evidence. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no merit in Ryno's points.
