The State of Missouri appealed the trial court's dismissal of criminal charges against Karen A. Quinn for murder, robbery, and armed criminal action. The trial court had dismissed the charges with prejudice, citing the State's alleged discovery violations and a speedy trial violation. The appellate court reversed the dismissal and remanded the case for reinstatement of charges, holding that the State did not violate discovery rules because it diligently sought the federal report and the state court lacked jurisdiction over the federal agency. The court also found that dismissing the serious charges with prejudice was an abuse of discretion and that the speedy trial claim failed as it was based on the erroneous discovery finding.
