View this case - free  

Overview: While the trial court declared a prisoner's prior commitment did not count for purposes of Mo. Rev. Stat. § 559.115, the issue was moot because even excluding the commitment, he still had three prior commitments and, under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 558.019.2(3), the minimum term was 80 percent of the sentence if he had three or more prior commitments.
