C.S., Appellant, vs. Missouri State Highway Patrol Criminal Justice Information Service; Lafayette Prosecuting…

Summary

The Court held that C.S.'s conviction for unlawful use of a weapon based on possessing a firearm while knowingly possessing a controlled substance is not a "marijuana offense" eligible for expungement under article XIV, section 2.10(7)(a)c of the Missouri Constitution. The court reasoned that the weapons offense primarily regulates conduct creating danger to others, whereas the constitutional expungement provision covers offenses involving specified marijuana-related conduct. The judgment denying expungement of that conviction was affirmed.
