Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Aug 7, 2018
Randy Hill Trams, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.
Randy Hill Trams appealed the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief, arguing the sentencing court lacked authority to revoke his probation based solely on his admission of arrest and new charges. He also contended the motion court erred in finding his claim not cognizable. The Eastern District affirmed the motion court's judgment, holding that a challenge to the legality of a probation revocation is generally not cognizable in a Rule 24.035 proceeding, with an exception not applicable to Trams's case.
