Dimetrious Woods v. Missouri Department of Corrections

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri reversed the circuit court and entered judgment for the Department of Corrections, holding that the repeal of section 195.295 does not retroactively make Woods eligible for parole because parole ineligibility is a condition of his sentence prohibited from alteration by section 1.160, RSMo. The Court reviewed the judgment‑on‑the‑pleadings motion de novo and applied Rule 84.14 to enter the proper judgment.
