Supreme Court of Missouri

State of Missouri v. Joshua Steven Collins

May 17, 2022

Summary

The court upheld Collins's convictions for second-degree harassment and tampering with a judicial officer. It held that the harassment statute is not facially overbroad because its requirements of acting without good cause and with the purpose to cause emotional distress limit it to unprotected conduct and communication, that the evidence was sufficient, and that separate sentences did not violate double jeopardy because harassment is not a lesser-included offense of tampering.
