Supreme Court of Missouri
State ex rel. Steven Wishom, Relator v. the Honorable Paula P. Bryant
August 29, 2023
Summary
The Court made permanent its preliminary writ and prohibited the circuit court from taking further action other than dismissing the pending charges. It held that the State waived any objection to Wishom's compliance with the Interstate Agreement on Detainers (IAD), and that the circuit court lacked good cause to continue the trial beyond the IAD's 180-day deadline. The Court also rejected arguments that Wishom's representation changes or agreement to later trial dates tolled or extended the deadline.
