Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Sep 19, 2023
J.M.L., Respondent, vs. Missouri State Highway Patrol, et al., Appellant.
J.M.L. filed a petition to be removed from the Missouri sex offender registry, which the circuit court granted. The Missouri State Highway Patrol appealed, arguing the circuit court erred by not determining if J.M.L. was required to register under federal SORNA. The appellate court reversed the circuit court's judgment and remanded the case for further proceedings, finding that an incomplete record on appeal prevented proper review of the claim.
