Supreme Court of Missouri

In re Robert J. Branson v. Michael Shewmaker

April 29, 2025

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri denied Robert J. Branson's petition for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that his excess‑sentence claim was waived because he failed to raise it in his Rule 24.035 post‑conviction motion and that such a claim is not a jurisdictional defect that permits habeas review.
