State ex rel. McCulloch v. Schiff

CRANDALL, Presiding Judge.

Relator, Robert P. McCulloch, the duly elected prosecuting attorney of St. Louis County, seeks a writ of prohibition against Respondent, The Honorable Martin Schiff, Jr., in the underlying criminal case of State v. Schuler. At issue is whether Respondent has jurisdiction to place defendant, Paul J. Schuler, on probation after a conviction for armed criminal action. § 571.-015.1, RSMo (1986).

The facts presented to this court are undisputed.…
