Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Sep 27, 2022
State of Missouri vs. Ronnie Dale Summers
Ronnie Dale Summers appealed his convictions for second-degree assault, resisting arrest, and possession of a controlled substance, following a bench trial. He challenged the sufficiency of the evidence for assault and resisting arrest, and argued the trial court erred in not dismissing charges due to alleged violations of the Uniform Mandatory Disposition of Detainers Law (UMDDL) and his Sixth Amendment right to a speedy trial. The appellate court affirmed all convictions, finding no error in the trial court's rulings.
