THE FULL COURT CASE IS PROVIDED BELOW THIS SUMMARY
In an effort to gain his freedom, Scott appealed his case to the Missouri Supreme Court on the grounds that he pleaded guilty and took FULL responsibility for the original counts of robbery, for which he was charged. However, while on parole, Scott was accused of committing three other robberies -- which he did not commit. When a subsequent warrant was issued for his arrest, Scott -- being innocent of the new allegations -- presented himself to the police -- without legal counsel. Although innocent of the new charges, Scott was sentenced to 60 years to life in prison -- which he is currently serving. Being innocent of those charges, Scott appealed his case to the Missouri Supreme Court -- thereby challenging the validity of the charges and the fact that he was convicted without an evidentiary hearing.
The State of Missouri also falsely avows that Scott failed to finish high school, which the State alleges to have been a condition of Scott's initial probation. The State has also erred in that assertion, because Scott was already a high school graduate -- at the time of the initial crime for which he pleaded guilty. The aforesaid being factual, it is our unwavering belief that Scott is deserving of his freedom.
