Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / May 21, 2019
Michelle Peterman, Appellant, v. Director of Revenue, State of Missouri, Respondent.
Michelle Peterman appealed the circuit court's judgment upholding the Director of Revenue's decision to deny her driving privileges for five years and revoke her license for one year due to two driving while intoxicated (DWI) convictions. Peterman argued that the Director's certified Driving Record was insufficient to prove the underlying convictions without an original judgment of conviction. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, holding that the Driving Record, which provided specific details of the convictions, was sufficient evidence to meet the Director's burden for both the point-based revocation and the five-year denial of privileges.
