Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 27, 2020
State of Missouri, Respondent, vs. Renee N. Bertrand, Appellant.
Renee N. Bertrand appealed her convictions for fourth-degree assault and first-degree trespass, and the imposition of court costs, following a jury trial. The appellate court affirmed the convictions and sentences, finding sufficient evidence for the trespass charge. However, the court reversed and remanded the portion of the judgment imposing $760.48 in "Jury Fees" as court costs, directing the trial court to determine the statutorily authorized amount. The court also held that Bertrand's claim of inability to pay court costs was not ripe for appellate review.
