The Honorable Bruce F. Hilton, Circuit Judge of St. Louis County, and Joan M. Gilmer, Circuit Clerk, St. Louis County Circuit Court Missouri Cases

Antonio Tyler's probation was revoked after his initial probationary period expired, leading him to file a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. The habeas court granted the writ, finding the probation court lacked authority to revoke probation because it failed to manifest intent or make reasonable efforts to conduct a hearing before the period expired. The appellate court reversed the habeas court's decision, holding that the probation court did affirmatively manifest its intent and made reasonable efforts, and that the delay was attributable to Tyler's actions. The appellate court quashed the record of the habeas court.
