<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">In 2018, D.E.G., a teenager, allegedly shot and seriously injured
another juvenile in the hallway of an apartment building.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn10;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[10]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>In October of 2018, the Jackson County juvenile
officer filed a petition alleging that D.E.G., if charged as an adult for the
shooting incident, would be charged with first-degree assault, a class A
felony, and armed criminal action.<a href="#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn11;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[11]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The juvenile officer filed a motion for a
certification hearing and prepared a report recommending that D.E.G. be transferred
to a court of general jurisdiction to stand trial as an adult.<a href="#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn12;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[12]</span></span></span></span></a></span> </p>
<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">At the certification hearing, the deputy juvenile officer gave a summary
of the information contained in the certification report and recommendation for
transfer.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn13;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[13]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The summary included details of D.E.G.’s
conduct while in detention for a previous criminal incident, statements by
D.E.G.’s mother, and details of D.E.G.’s mental and medical health and
treatment for conditions.<a href="#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn14;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[14]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The juvenile court judge overruled D.E.G.’s
objections and allowed the report in.<a href="#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn15;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[15]</span></span></span></span></a></span> </p>
<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">In considering the seriousness and viciousness of the offense, D.E.G.’s
history of past violent action both within and outside of the juvenile system,
the options available to treat D.E.G. at the juvenile level, and the
sophistication of D.E.G., the judge dismissed the juvenile court’s jurisdiction
over D.E.G. and transferred jurisdiction to “adult court.”<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn16;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[16]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>D.E.G. raised six points on appeal but first
had to argue that the court should overrule <i>T.J.H. </i>and hold that he had
the right to appeal the transfer order.<a href="#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn17;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[17]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>While the case was pending in the Missouri
Court of Appeals, Western District, the Supreme Court of Missouri granted
transfer.<a href="#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn18;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[18]</span></span></span></span></a></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">In a four-three decision, the Supreme Court of Missouri held that a
judgment by a juvenile court dismissing jurisdiction and transferring
jurisdiction to a court of general jurisdiction is a final, appealable judgment
under Section 211.261, overruling <i>In re</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">T.J.H</i>.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn19;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[19]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Because the Supreme Court of Missouri only
transferred the case to decide the issue of appealability, D.E.G.’s case was
retransferred to the court of appeals to rule on the merits.<a href="#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn20;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[20]</span></span></span></span></a></span></p>

Background</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">In examining the
appealability of juvenile transfers, there are three important components to
consider: 1) the history of the Missouri juvenile court system and how it
differs from adult criminal court; 2) the statutory framework of the Missouri
juvenile court system, including the history of how the Missouri Legislature
has amended the Juvenile Code; and 3) the cases that have shaped the
appealability of transfers of jurisdiction, namely <i>In re T.J.H</i>.</p><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&nbsp;</span></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">A.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">The Missouri Division of Youth Services (“DYS”) was created in 1974 as a
division of the Department of Social Services.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn23" name="_ftnref23" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn23;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[23]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The agency cares for and treats juveniles that

<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Today, DYS operates a variety of treatment programs, from maximum

rather than punitive correction, the Missouri juvenile justice system offers a
better alternative than adult incarceration.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Juveniles in residential facilities are given more freedoms and comforts
than incarcerated adults.<a href="#_ftn27" name="_ftnref27" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn27;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[27]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Juveniles might also be less likely to
reoffend due to the rehabilitative model. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The Missouri juvenile system has found
incredible success: In 2016, the Missouri Department of Corrections reported
the adult recidivism rate at 43.9%.<a href="#_ftn28" name="_ftnref28" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn28;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[28]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>By contrast, the long-term recidivism rate

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The majority also held that there was no

<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Judge Seiler dissented in <i>In re T.J.H.</i>, criticizing the

<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">In overruling <i>T.J.H.</i>, the majority cited three reasons for holding
that a juvenile court transfer of jurisdiction is a final, appealable decision:
(1) the majority in <i>In re T.J.H. </i>incorrectly interpreted and applied
Sections 211.071 and 211.261; (2) the legislature amended Section 211.261,
requiring a reanalysis; and (3) the plain language of Section 211.261 allowed
an appeal from any final judgment, and a transfer of jurisdiction had all of
the hallmarks of a final judgment.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn54" name="_ftnref54" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn54;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[54]</span></span></span></span></a></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">First, the court held that the majority in <i>T.J.H.</i> incorrectly
quoted Section 211.261 and failed to discuss the statutory language, instead
raising public policy concerns from outside jurisdictions.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn55" name="_ftnref55" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn55;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[55]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>In <i>T.J.H.</i>, the court misquoted Section
211.261 as only allowing an appeal from specific sections of Chapter 211.<a href="#_ftn56" name="_ftnref56" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn56;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[56]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Section 211.261 does not limit, nor has it
ever limited, what types of statutory issues can be appealed.<a href="#_ftn57" name="_ftnref57" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn57;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[57]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The <i>T.J.H. </i>opinion contains no

in any statutory interpretation and also misquoted Section 211.261, undermining
the legislative intent, the majority in <i>D.E.G. </i>found it necessary to
overrule <i>T.J.H.</i>’s holding.<a href="#_ftn59" name="_ftnref59" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn59;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[59]</span></span></span></span></a></span></p>
<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Second, the Missouri legislature amended Section 211.261.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn60" name="_ftnref60" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn60;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[60]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>When the legislature amends a statute, the court
presumes that the legislature intended to change the existing law.<a href="#_ftn61" name="_ftnref61" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn61;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[61]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The legislature added language that now allows
a juvenile officer to appeal from any final judgment or order, except for a
final determination under Section 211.031.1(3).<a href="#_ftn62" name="_ftnref62" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn62;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[62]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The legislature also added language allowing juvenile
officers to seek an interlocutory appeal for orders suppressing evidence, a
confession, or an admission during a 211.031.1(3) proceeding.<a href="#_ftn63" name="_ftnref63" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn63;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[63]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>By adding in language about what juvenile
officers can and cannot appeal while leaving the language about juveniles so
broad as to include “any final judgment,” the legislature’s amendment would
logically seem to indicate that their intent is not in line with the ruling of <i>In
re T.J.H</i>.</span></p>
<p style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Third, the plain language of the statute allows for an appeal of <i>any </i>final
judgment or order, and the issuance by the juvenile court had all the hallmarks
of a final judgment.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn64" name="_ftnref64" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn64;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[64]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The judgment dismissing and transferring D.E.G.’s
case was titled “Judgment of Dismissal,” the judge signed it, the court gave a
detailed analysis and reasoning of why it was dismissing and transferring, and
the judgment concluded with “It is hereby ordered and adjudged.”<a href="#_ftn65" name="_ftnref65" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn65;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[65]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The Supreme Court of Missouri concluded that
these characteristics make the judgment transferring jurisdiction a final
judgment.<a href="#_ftn66" name="_ftnref66" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn66;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[66]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Because the language of 211.261 is
“clear and unambiguous” as to allowing for an appeal of any final judgment, the
court concluded that there was no need to go into public policy concerns or look
to other jurisdictions for guidance.<a href="#_ftn67" name="_ftnref67" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn67;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[67]</span></span></span></span></a></span></p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant: small-caps;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">&nbsp;</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant: small-caps;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">V.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
</span></span></span><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Comment</span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">The
Supreme Court of Missouri has now opened the door for juveniles to appeal many
different issues arising from a juvenile transfer hearing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Like D.E.G., juveniles may wish to appeal
perceived procedural defects in the case.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn68" name="_ftnref68" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn68;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[68]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Others may want a review of the entire
decision itself, believing that their case was improperly decided based on the
weighing of the factors. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Because the
Missouri Court of Appeals has not had to review any transfers of jurisdiction on
direct appeal in the last fifty years, allowing appeals may now open the door
for a variety of questions for Missouri appellate courts.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Another
issue that may come before the court is whether juvenile officers in Missouri
can or should appeal transfer of jurisdiction denials. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>While this may seem like an inconsequential
determination <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">–</span> indeed,
the majority only devoted one sentence to it when discussing the amendments to
211.261 <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">–</span> allowing
juvenile officers to appeal a transfer of jurisdiction could have huge
consequences for juveniles. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>A juvenile
officer appealing could lead to confusion in the juvenile courts of whether to
pursue treatment of the juvenile or wait for the results of the appeal,
delaying much-needed treatment options for at-risk youth. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Because the juvenile court system must work
quickly to prevent juveniles from aging out of the system before receiving
treatment, juvenile officers should not have the right to create confusion by
appealing denial of a transfer order. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Therefore,
it would be in the best interest of juveniles for the courts to clarify that
Section 211.261 does not allow juvenile officers to appeal denials of transfer.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">Another
issue for juveniles sent to “adult” court is that they are still left without
any of the protections of juvenile court while they are appealing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The supersedeas provision of 211.261 leaves
juveniles without any of the protections that Judge Seiler discussed in his
dissent in <i>In re T.J.H.</i><span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn69" name="_ftnref69" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn69;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[69]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Judge Seiler worried that not allowing a
juvenile to appeal a transfer order would strip juveniles of the privileges of
juvenile court, including the right to be shielded
from publicity, not to be fingerprinted or photographed, and not to be jailed
or housed with adults.<a href="#_ftn70" name="_ftnref70" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn70;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[70]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Section 211.261 and <i>D.E.G. </i>still leave
Judge Seiler’s worries intact, since, even though a juvenile can now appeal,
the juvenile would still be subject to the full force of adult criminal court
while their appeal is pending. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>If a
court of appeals finds that the transfer was in error, some of the protections
of juvenile court may already be gone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>If
their criminal proceedings have begun while the appeal of the transfer was
pending, the juvenile will have already been jailed, fingerprinted, and had
their information potentially released to the media. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">In order to combat the injustice of juveniles losing the
protections of the juvenile court while they are appealing, the Missouri legislature
must reexamine Section 211.261 and amend it so that proceedings are stalled
while the juvenile is appealing the transfer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>This would be a similar system to Alabama, where the Alabama Supreme Court
has held that in general, jurisdiction of a case can only be in one court at
time and trial courts cannot rule on matters that are being adjudged by an
appellate court.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn71" name="_ftnref71" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn71;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[71]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>If Missouri wants to avoid a juvenile
losing all of the protections of juvenile court after winning an appeal of
transfer, Missouri must reexamine Section 211.261 and should follow a system
similar to that used by Alabama.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">The final issue that Missouri must address is the issue of
age, which has become a problem in states with similar juvenile systems. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>In the Texas case <i>In Matter of J.G.</i>, juvenile
J.G. spent three years appealing his case that began when he was sixteen.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn72" name="_ftnref72" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn72;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[72]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>When J.G. finally appeared before the juvenile
court for the second time, he was nineteen, which made the court worry about
how amenable he was to treatment in the juvenile system and whether he could
receive treatment alongside much younger juveniles.<a href="#_ftn73" name="_ftnref73" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn73;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[73]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>In <i>D.E.G.</i>, D.E.G. was most likely fifteen
when the alleged offense occurred in 2018<a href="#_ftn74" name="_ftnref74" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn74;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[74]</span></span></span></span></a> and was barely sixteen
years old when the juvenile court granted the transfer of jurisdiction in
January 2019.<a href="#_ftn75" name="_ftnref75" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn75;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[75]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The Supreme Court of Missouri opinion
was decided in June 2020 when D.E.G. was most likely on the cusp of his
eighteenth birthday.<a href="#_ftn76" name="_ftnref76" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn76;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[76]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The Missouri Court of Appeals must still
decide the merits of D.E.G.’s claims, and if it reverses and remands the issue
back to the juvenile court, D.E.G. will most likely be eighteen when he stands
in front of the juvenile court for the second time.<a href="#_ftn77" name="_ftnref77" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn77;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[77]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">The major factors that a juvenile court considers when
granting or denying a transfer is the age of the child, the programs and
facilities available to the juvenile court, and whether or not the child can
benefit from the treatment or rehabilitation.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn78" name="_ftnref78" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn78;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">[78]</span></span></span></span></a> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>In the future, many cases like D.E.G.’s may be
remanded based on purely procedural defects. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>When the juvenile reappears in front of the
juvenile court, the court may conclude that the child’s age makes them past the
point of help or that the juvenile system has no adequate resources to
rehabilitate or treat a person who is now over eighteen and a legal adult. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>A juvenile court may be even less likely to
grant a transfer the second time around if a child is now two to three years
older, reasoning that they are closer to the age of adulthood and therefore
less amenable to treatment in the juvenile system. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">In order to combat this, the Missouri legislature or the
judiciary must reexamine the appellate procedures for juveniles and create an
expedited system for reviewing an appeal of transfer of jurisdiction. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>This expedited proceeding would work against
the passage of time and allow juveniles a fair proceeding if they win their
appeal and appear again in front of a juvenile court.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">While
<i>D.E.G. </i>is a step in the right direction, Missouri still has significant
issues relating to juveniles appealing transfer orders that it must resolve to
achieve true justice for juveniles. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span><i>D.E.G.
</i>leaves many questions unresolved, such as whether criminal circuit courts
should proceed in prosecuting a juvenile while the juvenile is appealing their
transfer, how to deal with the closing window of time for juvenile proceedings,
and the confusion over whether juvenile officers can appeal denials of transfer</p><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-variant: small-caps; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">VI.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">In
treating a transfer of jurisdiction from juvenile court to a court of general

changed a piece of the juvenile court system that sat undisturbed for fifty

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>While the Supreme Court of Missouri
would be correct in its interpretation of Section 211.261 based on the amendment
to the statute alone, its ruling is strengthened by the public policy concerns
of transferring juveniles to adult court. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Judge Seiler’s dissent in the 1972 case <i>In
re T.J.H.</i> highlighted the serious decision a juvenile court has in
subjecting a child to the adult criminal court system and stripping that child
of all of the protections and treatment options that juvenile court can
provide.<a href="#_ftn82" name="_ftnref82" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn82;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[82]</span></span></span></span></a></span> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: 0.5in;">The
Missouri juvenile justice system has achieved amazing results in recent years
with extremely low rates of recidivism.<span style="color: black;"><a href="#_ftn83" name="_ftnref83" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn83;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[83]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Because of these results, Missouri
juvenile courts should strive to keep juveniles in the juvenile justice system
in as many cases as they can. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>By
allowing juveniles to appeal transfer orders after fifty years of prohibiting
it, Missouri has created a safeguard that can protect more juveniles from the
harshness of the adult criminal system. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Now that juveniles can appeal transfer orders,
it is up to the Missouri legislature and the Missouri appellate courts to amend
and interpret Section 211.261 to ensure that juveniles are given as much
justice as possible. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>This would include
limiting the ability of juvenile officers to appeal denials of transfer,
halting adult criminal proceedings while juveniles appeal the transfer so they
keep some juvenile system protections, and expediting the system so that
juveniles do not age out while their appeal is pending. </span></p>

</div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">Implementation of
an Interstate Compact on Sentencing will allow the proper execution of
multijurisdictional concurrent sentences in a way that can benefit both states
and prisoners.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The most extreme example of
arbitrary administrative action in this Note is that of Michael Isreal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>As of the date of this Note, Mr. Isreal
remains in the custody of MDOC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>He is
awaiting a hearing on a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus to secure discharge,
but as it stands, there is no provision, statutory or otherwise, to compel his
release.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Any evaluation of the
underlying principle of due process – fairness – indicates that Mr. Isreal
should receive credit on his Missouri sentence for the time he spent
incarcerated in California.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Beyond the
basic unfairness MDOC created for Mr. Isreal, it refused a large financial
benefit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Had MDOC designated CDCR as the
place where Mr. Isreal would serve his Missouri sentence, it is likely that
California would have borne the entire cost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>At the current cost of incarceration, Mr. Isreal’s commitment in
Missouri will cost the state more than one million dollars.

<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: small-caps;">I. Introduction</span><span style="font-variant: small-caps;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">A man is wrestled to the ground,
tazed, and charged with crimes he likely did not commit. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>He is prosecuted on baseless charges
thoughtlessly tacked onto other offenses. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>These charges are dropped, but the man has
suffered uncompensated harms. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Malicious
prosecution was created as part of a suite of claims available to those
wrongfully litigated against in 1698 to compensate for harms such as these.<a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[1]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>A malicious prosecution claim may be
brought by an individual who had a suit lacking probable cause initiated against
them which was later terminated in their favor.<a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[2]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">Unfortunately for many would-be plaintiffs,
malicious prosecution has been frequently disfavored by courts.</span><a href="#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[3]</span></span></span></span></span></a><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Missouri courts’ disfavor has resulted in strict adherence to the
elements of the malicious prosecution claim.<a href="#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[4]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>One such element is a lack of probable
cause to prosecute the charge in the original proceeding.<a href="#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[5]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>A special issue arises in proving this
element when multiple charges were brought in the original proceeding, only
some of which lacked probable cause to prosecute. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>In <i>Daniels v. Terranova, </i>the court conducted
a review of first impression that addressed this multi-charge malicious
prosecution issue.<a href="#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn7;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[6]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">This Post begins in Part II with the
particular circumstances under which Daniels was charged and the holding of the
court. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Part III provides a discussion of
the history of the multi-charge malicious prosecution issue. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Part IV lays out the court’s decision in<i>
Daniels v. Terranova</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Finally, in
Part V, this Note concludes by analyzing the reasonableness of the novel holding
in <i>Daniels</i>.</span></p>

Holding</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Nicholas Daniels was

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Daniels appealed from this judgment to the

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The appeal turned on an issue of first

move forward when some, but not all, of the <i>criminal </i>charges against a

The court held that a malicious prosecution claim could move forward for one
criminal charge, even if others in the same underlying action were supported by
probable cause.<a href="#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn19;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[18]</span></span></span></span></a>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The court noted this “charge-specific

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">Judicial economy is a public policy that
favors efficiency in the judicial system.<a href="#_ftn56" name="_ftnref56" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn56;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[55]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>This policy argument was </span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">referenced by Missouri cases as a
reason to rule in favor of probable cause to prosecute for one charge defeating
malicious prosecution for all.<a href="#_ftn57" name="_ftnref57" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn57;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[56]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>However, this case law almost exclusively
dealt with malicious prosecution stemming from underlying civil claims.<a href="#_ftn58" name="_ftnref58" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn58;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[57]</span></span></span></span></a>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The probable cause requirement<a href="#_ftn59" name="_ftnref59" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn59;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[58]</span></span></span></span></a>
and overall methods of practice differ for civil and criminal cases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>For example, in civil cases a plaintiff may
plead in the alternative.<a href="#_ftn60" name="_ftnref60" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn60;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[59]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>As a result, more instances arise where
one of the multiple claims lacks probable cause to prosecute. Therefore, a rule
requiring all claims to lack probable cause for a successful malicious
prosecution suit makes sense in a civil context as such claims would be brought
too frequently. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>On the other hand, in
the criminal context, where pleading in the alternative is not available, there
will inherently be fewer malicious prosecution claims, so judicial economy is not
as strong of a consideration.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Conversely, a judicial economy
argument could be made to favor the <i>Daniels</i> decision. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">As some scholars have noted, “[T]he judicial process is also harmed by
those who use the courts as instruments with which to maliciously injure their
fellow men.”<a href="#_ftn61" name="_ftnref61" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn61;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[60]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>If officers are permitted to tack on
charges unsupported by probable cause without fear of repercussions,
substantial judicial resources will be wasted. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Therefore, it is possible that judicial
economy concerns stemming from the increase in litigation caused by the <i>Daniels</i>
decision might be offset by a reduction in baseless charges brought in the
first place. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">This concern over an influx of new
litigation due to <i>Daniels</i> is weakened further by a review of the
potential damages available to a plaintiff for redressing harm suffered in
multi-charge malicious prosecution circumstances. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">A primary goal underlying tort law is redressing
harm,<a href="#_ftn62" name="_ftnref62" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn62;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[61]</span></span></span></span></a>
but what harm is suffered by a plaintiff who is prosecuted on multiple charges,
where only some charges lack probable cause? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>When all charges lack probable cause, the harm
is easy to identify as the defendant must endure a suit that should never have been
brought.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>When only one of several claims
brought is baseless, however, the true harm suffered is not as easy to
determine, particularly when no additional jail time or money spent is alleged.
This concern was central in the circuit courts’ decision to add an additional
deprivation requirement for a malicious prosecution claim on one of multiple
charges.<a href="#_ftn63" name="_ftnref63" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn63;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[62]</span></span></span></span></a>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>In <i>Daniels</i>
there was no additional physical harm because taking away the charges lacking
probable cause would not have impacted Daniels’s jail time, bail price, etc.<a href="#_ftn64" name="_ftnref64" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn64;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[63]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>There were, however, still psychological and
emotional harms attributable to the baseless charge. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Even if multiple charges carry the same physical
costs, they may not be perceived the same way in society. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>In Daniels’s case, the charge of resisting
arrest might result in a different stigma than that of assaulting a police
officer, especially in a state like Missouri where resisting arrest is an easy
charge to support.<a href="#_ftn65" name="_ftnref65" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn65;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[64]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The name of the crime may also imply
different levels of wrongdoing that impact the defendant’s life in myriad ways.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">Other potential psychological, emotional,
or reputational harms for a plaintiff like Daniels </span>in a criminal case
could come from the fear of jail time and losing his freedom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Some consideration might also be paid to the psychological
toll related to the potential racial justice implications of officers charging
an African American man, like Daniels, with baseless charges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>It might be that we, as a society, are less
likely to tolerate a lack of accounting for someone’s harm when it is placed in
a criminal context, as the court in <i>Daniels</i> was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">All things considered,
the tort law policy of redressing harms supports the decision made in <i>Daniels</i>.
Even without an additional concrete harm, substantial reputational and
psychological harm may be suffered by someone who has unfounded charges tacked
onto legitimate ones. </p>

claim a plaintiff can recover compensatory and punitive damages.<a href="#_ftn66" name="_ftnref66" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn66;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[65]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Such “<span style="border: 1pt none windowtext; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0in; padding: 0in;">damages</span>&nbsp;are
recoverable for every element of the injury, including mental and physical
suffering, injury to fame and reputation, and the general impairment of social
standing."<a href="#_ftn67" name="_ftnref67" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn67;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[66]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>But, without a severe compensable harm, clearly
attributable to the baseless charge, it may be difficult for a plaintiff to
find an attorney willing to pursue the action.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>When compensatory damages would be nominal, two important issues come to
mind: (1) whether the damage is calculated based only on the charge lacking
probable cause, and (2) whether attorney fees may be recovered. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">An early decision from the Supreme Court
of Missouri, <i>Boogher v. Bryant</i>,<i> </i>is instructive as to whether the
damage calculation would include only harms sustained under the baseless charge
or under all the charges.<a href="#_ftn68" name="_ftnref68" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn68;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[67]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The <i>Boogher</i> court reasoned that having
demonstrated there was a joining of a justified and unjustified charge, a
plaintiff did not have the </span><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">“burden of showing that her damage was specifically
attributable to the malicious prosecution...”<a href="#_ftn69" name="_ftnref69" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn69;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[68]</span></span></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Although decided over a century ago, <i>Boogher</i>
provides legal precedent that might allow a plaintiff to recover damages not
attributable specifically to the baseless claim. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>For a plaintiff like Daniels, who lost his job
after being charged, this issue is crucial as it would be nearly impossible for
Daniels to prove his termination was only due to the baseless claims.<a href="#_ftn70" name="_ftnref70" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn70;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-themecolor: text1;">[69]</span></span></span></span></a></span><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">It is well established that in a malicious
prosecution claim, a plaintiff can recover for attorney fees incurred in
defending the underlying suit.<a href="#_ftn71" name="_ftnref71" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn71;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">[70]</span></span></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Attorney fees however might not always
be incurred in the initial defense. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The
question becomes whether attorney fees incurred in <i>bringing</i> the
malicious prosecution suit may be recovered. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>If so, even if the harm suffered would not
allow a large recovery, an attorney might be more willing to take the case. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>In Missouri there is no general fee-shifting
statute for tort claims, and there does not appear to be case law where a court
has awarded a malicious prosecution plaintiff with the attorney fees incurred
in bringing the claim.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Without a
provision in which an attorney can recover their fees, it may be difficult for
a plaintiff to find an attorney to file his claim. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">All things considered, the policy support
for the <i>Daniels</i> court’s decision to turn away from Missouri precedent is
strong. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Even if it does not allow for
every baseless charge to be remedied, the decision made by the <i>Daniels </i>court
is an important step to preventing injustice.</span></p>
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: black; font-variant: small-caps;">VI. </span><span style="color: black; font-variant: small-caps; mso-themecolor: text1;">Conclusion</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>The <i>Daniels
</i>court has taken an appropriate step away from Missouri civil precedent so
that a defendant charged with multiple counts in an underlying criminal suit
may bring a malicious prosecution claim even if there was probable cause to
support one of the charges. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>While this
decision of first impression strays away from the generally accepted policy of disfavoring
malicious prosecution, it provides an avenue for fighting injustice while remaining
limited enough to prevent an onslaught of cases that would clog the judicial
system. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>

Wilson first discussed the constitutionality of Section 11.800 of the
appropriation bill.<a href="file:///C:/Users/ssd7f/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Blog%20Stuff/Downing%20August%20(Brand%20Edits,%20LD%20check).docx#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn10;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[10]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Article III, section 23 of the Missouri
Constitution provides, “No bill shall contain more than one subject which shall
be clearly expressed in its title, except bills enacted under the third
exception in section 37 of this article and general appropriation bills, which
may embrace the various subjects and accounts for which moneys are
appropriated.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/ssd7f/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Blog%20Stuff/Downing%20August%20(Brand%20Edits,%20LD%20check).docx#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn11;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[11]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Thus, while section 23 prohibits bills with
more than one subject, it does contain a “narrow exception” for appropriation
bills “because such bills necessarily include multiple subjects, i.e.,
appropriations of differing amounts from differing accounts for differing
subjects.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/ssd7f/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Blog%20Stuff/Downing%20August%20(Brand%20Edits,%20LD%20check).docx#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn12;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[12]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">However,
the majority explained that the Court has long recognized that the exception is
limited, and “section 23 [still] limits appropriation bills <i>to
appropriations only</i>.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/ssd7f/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Blog%20Stuff/Downing%20August%20(Brand%20Edits,%20LD%20check).docx#_ftn13" name="_ftnref13" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn13;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[13]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>To clarify, “any bill that purports to
combine appropriations with the enactment or amendment of general or
substantive law necessarily contains more than one subject in violation of
article III, section 23, and such a bill does not fall within the exception for
general appropriation bills.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/ssd7f/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Blog%20Stuff/Downing%20August%20(Brand%20Edits,%20LD%20check).docx#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn14;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[14]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The majority clarified, however, that an
appropriation bill must be in direct conflict with a general law in order for
it to be considered more than solely an appropriation in this context.<a href="file:///C:/Users/ssd7f/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Blog%20Stuff/Downing%20August%20(Brand%20Edits,%20LD%20check).docx#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn15;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[15]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">Accordingly,
the majority examined whether Section 11.800 directly conflicts with general
law, specifically RSMo Sections 208.153.1 and 208.152.1.<a href="file:///C:/Users/ssd7f/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Blog%20Stuff/Downing%20August%20(Brand%20Edits,%20LD%20check).docx#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn16;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[16]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Section 208.152.1 “provides that MO HealthNet

intentionally segregated section 11.800 from the appropriations in the rest of
the bill and it expressly noted that the other sections shall not be severed
from each other but provided no similar prohibition against severing section
11.800.<a href="file:///C:/Users/ssd7f/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Blog%20Stuff/Downing%20August%20(Brand%20Edits,%20LD%20check).docx#_ftn26" name="_ftnref26" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn26;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[26]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Thus, the majority affirmed the circuit
court’s determination regarding severance because it was satisfied “beyond a

11.800, and that nothing in 11.800 is essential to the efficacy of the
appropriations made elsewhere in [the appropriation bill].”<a href="file:///C:/Users/ssd7f/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Blog%20Stuff/Downing%20August%20(Brand%20Edits,%20LD%20check).docx#_ftn27" name="_ftnref27" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn27;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[27]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">In a five-four
decision, the United States Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law requiring
physicians who provide abortions to obtain admitting privileges at a local
hospital.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The Court held that the
Louisiana admitting privilege requirement, facially identical to a Texas law
the Court struck down four years ago in <i>Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt</i>,
was an undue burden on abortion access.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>However,
the Court missed an opportunity to meaningfully address how targeted
regulations of abortion providers (“TRAP laws”) like the admitting priviliges
requirement at issue work in the greater context of abortion restrictions to
gradually chip away at the abortion right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;
</span>Justice Breyer, joined by Justices Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan, wrote
the plurality opinion.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>In
June 2014, the Louisiana Legislature passed Act 620 which requires any
physician who performs abortions to hold “active admitting privileges at a
hospital that is located not further than thirty miles from the location at
which the abortion is performed or induced and that provides obstetrical or
gynecological health care services.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>To have “active admitting privileges,” a
doctor must be a member in good standing of the hospital’s medical staff with
the ability to admit a patient and to provide diagnostic and surgical services
to such patient.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Prior to Act 620’s passage, Louisiana law
already required abortion providers either to possess local hospital admitting
privileges or to have a transfer agreement with a physician who had such
privileges.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Act 620 removed that flexibility and attached
liability to physicians for failing to comply, possibly leading to “fines of up
to $4,000 per violation, license revocation, and civil liability.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></p>

weeks before Act 620 was to take effect in September 2014, three abortion clinics
and two abortion providers filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for
the Middle District of Louisiana alleging that Act 620 was unconstitutional as
an undue burden on their patients’ rights to obtain abortions.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[6]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The plaintiffs sought a temporary restraining

order and urged the district court to hold a hearing on the preliminary
injunction as soon as possible, but conceded that the physicians clearly had
standing to bring suit.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn8;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Instead of ruling on whether to stay Act
620’s effective date, the district court temporarily prohibited the State from
enforcing the Act’s penalties and directed the plaintiff doctors to continue
their efforts to obtain conforming privileges while keeping the court informed
of their progress.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn9;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></p>

June 2015, the District Court held a six-day bench trial on the preliminary

witnesses and making extensive factual findings on the issue, the district court
declared Act 620 facially unconstitutional and granted the preliminary
injunction on its enforcement.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn11;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[11]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><o:p></o:p></p>

State immediately appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth

granted.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn12" name="_ftnref12" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn12;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[12]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The U.S. Supreme Court then granted its own

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>About
two months later, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its decision in <i>Whole
Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt</i>, striking down a Texas law nearly identical
to the Louisiana law at issue here.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn14;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[14]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>In <i>Whole Woman’s Health</i>, the Court
held that “unnecessary health regulations that have the purpose or effect of
presenting a substantial obstacle to a woman seeking an abortion impose an
undue burden on the right and are therefore constitutionally invalid.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn15;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[15]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The Court then undertook a state-specific
analysis and assessed the asserted benefits and burdens of the law as it
operated in Texas.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn16;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[16]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Reviewing the record in that case, the Court held
that the Texas admitting privilege law did not further the State’s asserted
interest in women’s health because it provided no real health benefit—abortions
in Texas were extremely safe before the law’s passage, so there was no
health-related issue the law attempted to cure.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn17;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[17]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Futher, the law placed a substantial obstacle
in the path of Texas women seeking an abortion because half of the state’s
abortion clinics closed after the law went into effect.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn18;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[18]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The Court then struck down the Texas law,
reasoning that the obstacle, “when viewed in light of the virtual absence of
any health benefit, imposed an undue burden on abortion access in violation of
the Federal Constitution.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn19;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[19]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span><o:p></o:p></p>

the district court found that: (1) abortion in Louisiana “has been extremely
safe, with particularly low rates of serious complications”; (2) it “rarely . .

patient’s treating physician has admitting privileges is not relevant to the

to the Act’s burdens on women’s access to abortion, the district court found
that the approximately 10,000 women who obtain abortions in Louisiana each year
are served by six doctors at five abortion clinics, and that by the time of its

leaving only five physicians in the entire state who perform abortions, most of
whom were unable to obtain admitting privileges required by Act 620.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn24" name="_ftnref24" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn24;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[24]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>The district court further found that the

criteria that preclude or, at least greatly discourage, the granting of
privileges to abortion provers.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn25" name="_ftnref25" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn25;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[25]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Thus, enforcing the Act would “result in a

increase the risk of harm to women’s health by dramatically reducing the

include strict limits on insurance coverage of abortion, a parental consent
requirement for minors, a mandate doctors counsel patients in a way that is
intended to dissuade them from obtaining the procedure, a mandatory
seventy-two-hour waiting period between clinic visits, and other similar
restrictions.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Downing%20July%20Final%20for%20Publishing.docx#_ftn49" name="_ftnref49" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn49;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">[49]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>As the first state to enact an admitting

of the law is shaped by public policy considerations, the field of bankruptcy
law tends to rely on a <i>different</i> policy rationale at almost every turn. &nbsp;The most basic goal of a successful bankruptcy
is to provide the debtor with the means to either pursue a fresh start or
reorganize their debt by creating a sustainable plan.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; The most pervasive competing goal with that
of the debtor’s wellbeing is the preservation of value for the benefit of
creditors.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; Put simply, bankruptcy serves primarily as a
debtor’s remedy, but the Bankruptcy Code (“Code”) attempts to prevent debtors
from devaluing the bankruptcy estate which must be used to pay off unsecured
creditors.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times&quot;,serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">One way in which
the Code seeks to preserve value for the estate is through the concept of a
“voidable preference.” &nbsp;A voidable
preference is defined as: (1) a transfer of money or an interest in property by
the debtor to a creditor; (2) to settle an antecedent debt; (3) made while the
debtor is insolvent; (4) made within the ninety days immediately preceding the
filing of a bankruptcy petition; and (5) which enables a creditor to receive
more than it would receive under Chapter 7<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; The general rule is that any transfer the
court determines to be a voidable preference may be retracted from the
creditor, back to the bankruptcy estate.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; The main purpose of this seemingly obscure
section is to prevent debtors from unfairly providing payment to select
creditors just before filing bankruptcy, leaving the remaining creditors to split
up the left-over scraps.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times&quot;,serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">While the aims of
preference law are noble, there are several exceptions to the general rule that
create problems for bankruptcy trustees trying to preserve the value of the
bankruptcy estate. &nbsp;Through the lens of <i>In
re Gas-Mart</i>, this article will discuss the “contemporaneous exchange for
new value” exception to preference law contained in § 547(c)(1).&nbsp; Ultimately, this article will propose that
this exception, as it has been applied in <i>In re Gas-Mart</i>, has the
potential to be severely abused and may defeat the principles of fairness upon
which preference law was founded.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoListParagraph" style="line-height: 200%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -.5in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Times, serif;">II.<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

bankruptcy in July 2015, Gas-Mart (the debtor) held deposit accounts at Wells
Fargo Bank and issued checks in excess of the balance of the accounts.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[6]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; Gas-Mart and Wells Fargo entered into an
agreement under which Gas-Mart scheduled its repayment of the debt on the
accounts and granted Wells Fargo a security interest in all its assets.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[7]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times&quot;,serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">In March 2015,
Gas-Mart agreed to sell its real estate and personal property from nineteen Gas-Mart
locations for a total of $27 million; the contract, which closed on April 30,
2015, required the sold assets to be free of all liens.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; To facilitate the requirement that the sold
assets were not subject to a lien, Gas-Mart agreed to give proceeds from the
sale to its creditors in return for lien releases.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; Sun Life, a creditor, agreed to receive
roughly $14 million in proceeds from the sale as partial payment of Gas-Mart’s
debt in return for a lien release.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[10]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; Wells Fargo received $1.3 million from the

into the issues in the case, the court discussed what the contemporaneous
exchange for new value exception is.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[14]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; This exception prevents a trustee from
avoiding a preferential transfer where the transfer was intended by the debtor
and creditor to be a contemporaneous exchange for new value given to the
debtor.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn15" name="_ftnref15" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[15]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; The key consideration, and therefore the crux
of the issue in this case, is the definition of “new value.”&nbsp; The court looked to existing case law to
determine that the release of a lien can constitute new value.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn16" name="_ftnref16" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[16]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; The court noted the policy rational behind
the exception: “Contemporaneous new value exchanges are excepted from avoidance
because they ‘encourage creditors to continue doing business with troubled
debtors who may then be able to avoid bankruptcy altogether,’ and ‘because
other creditors are not adversely affected if the debtor's estate receives new
value.’”<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn17" name="_ftnref17" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[17]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times&quot;,serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">As applied to the
case, the key issue for the court was whether Sun Life’s release of its liens
for less than full payment of its debt allowed Wells Fargo’s lien release to
provide Gas-Mart with new value in exchange for the $1.4 million in payment.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[18]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; As a starting point, the court noted that
Wells Fargo’s interest in Gas-Mart’s property was junior to Sun Life’s; Sun
Life agreed to release its liens for payment of less than what it was owed, and
as a result, funds were made available to pay Wells Fargo, with the excess
returning to the debtor.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn19" name="_ftnref19" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[19]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; The trustee objected to this deal in that it
did not actually provide “new value” to the debtor. &nbsp;The trustee argued that if a senior creditor –
here Sun Life – “is not paid in full from the value of its collateral as the
result of a sale, that release of junior liens on the sale property should have
no corresponding value for the purposes of § 547(c)(1)”.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn20" name="_ftnref20" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[20]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times&quot;,serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">The court
disagreed with the trustee. &nbsp;The court
articulated that the lien releases of Wells Fargo and Sun Life were contingent
on each other.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn21" name="_ftnref21" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[21]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; While it is true that the lien release of a
junior creditor is worthless to the debtor when the senior creditor still
possesses a lien, if <i>both</i> creditors release their liens for less than
full value, the debtor has acquired new value in reduced debt, despite the fact
that the junior lien would have been worthless under ordinary circumstances.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn22" name="_ftnref22" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[22]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times&quot;,serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">As a last-ditch
effort, the trustee argued that Sun Life agreed to take less than the amount
owed because Wells Fargo impermissibly demanded payment in exchange for the
release of its junior liens.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn23" name="_ftnref23" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[23]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; The court responded that this demand merely
reflected the demands of the buyer in the overall deal and was fully
permissible.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn24" name="_ftnref24" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[24]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoListParagraph" style="line-height: 200%; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -.5in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Times, serif;">IV.<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

re Gas-Mart</i> looks like a relatively cut-and-dry case.&nbsp; It is hard to argue with the court’s finding
that new value was added to the bankruptcy estate based on the lien releases of
both Sun Life and Wells Fargo.&nbsp; Yet, when
considering the motivations of the parties, the facts do not seem to add
up.&nbsp; The biggest question this case
raises is why Sun Life agreed to release its liens in the first place. &nbsp;As a secured creditor, Sun Life was guaranteed
to receive payment in bankruptcy up to the value of the secured collateral.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn25" name="_ftnref25" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[25]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; Therefore, when Sun Life released its liens
for far less than their face value, it presumably took on a substantial loss in
order to ensure the sale went through. &nbsp;This
begs the question: why?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times&quot;,serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">The most likely
answer is that Sun Life intentionally overvalued its liens, so that when it released
the liens in return for a kickback from the sale, it was not actually taking a
loss.&nbsp; This theory is nearly impossible
to prove, but it is perhaps the only explanation for Sun Life’s bizarre
behavior in this case.&nbsp; In the grander
scheme, it does not matter whether this theory is true, but <i>In re Gas-Mart</i>
illustrates a way in which a creditor can use the contemporaneous exchange for
new value exception to circumvent preference law entirely.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times&quot;,serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">Valuation of
assets in bankruptcy is a notoriously tricky business, so much so that each
party usually acquires a separate appraisal, leaving the judge to determine a <i>fair
</i>appraisal.<a href="file:///C:/Users/srs638/Dropbox/Law%20School/Law%20Review/Final%20Docs%20for%20Blog%20Publishing/Brand%20July%20(Brand%20final%20edits).docx#_ftn26" name="_ftnref26" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">[26]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>&nbsp; If a creditor succeeds in convincing the
court that the value of its lien is greater than the actual value of the asset,
a wily creditor could abuse the contemporaneous exchange for new value
exception in much the same way as Sun Life.&nbsp;
Rather than waiting for the slow process of bankruptcy to take its
course, this creditor could simply agree to release its overvalued lien in
exchange for a payment from the debtor for less than the full value of the
lien.&nbsp; When all is said and done, the
creditor will have gotten far more than it would likely have received had it
merely acquired the property in bankruptcy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoListParagraph" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .75in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: center; text-indent: -.5in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Times, serif;">V.<span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

unclear if this is what happened in <i>In re Gas-Mart</i>, judges must be wary
of attempts to malign the bankruptcy process through inaccurate valuation
practices.&nbsp; This warning may not shock
bankruptcy judges who deal with valuation issues on a near daily basis, but it
serves as another reminder that the Bankruptcy Code is not perfect.&nbsp; While the contemporaneous exchange for new
value exception provides room for debtors to bargain with creditors, judges
must remain vigilant in order to preserve the value of the bankruptcy estate
for the sake of the bankruptcy trustee and any unsecured creditors. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">I. Introduction<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-variant: small-caps;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span></span>Dr. Shereen Kader, Ph.D., an
Egyptian national, worked for Harris-Stowe State University from 2007-2009.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn1;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In 2009, a new dean evaluated Dr.
Kader’s performance.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn2;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Kader believed her scores on the
performance evaluation were unfair and discriminatory.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn3;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Kader wanted to bring her attorney
to a human resources meeting planned to take place between the new dean and Dr.
Kader.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In response, the new dean allegedly told
Dr. Kader that bringing her attorney to the meeting would result in “visa complications”
– the alleged statement was significant to Dr. Kader because her ability to
live and work in the United States depended on acquiring a new visa when her
then-current visa expired in 2010.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn5" name="_ftnref5" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn5;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[5]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shortly before Dr. Kader’s visa expired,
she applied for a different visa – known as an “extraordinary person” visa –
but was denied.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[6]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Harris-Stowe did not appeal the denial
and soon thereafter declined to renew Dr. Kader’s teaching contract based on
her lack of a valid visa.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn7;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[7]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dr. Kader sued under the Missouri Human
Rights Act (“MHRA”), alleging that Harris-Stowe unlawfully retaliated against
her and unlawfully discriminated against her based on her race and national
origin.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn8" name="_ftnref8" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn8;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[8]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After a jury trial, Dr. Kader was
awarded $750,000 in compensatory and $1.75 million in punitive damages on her
retaliation and national origin discrimination claims.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn9" name="_ftnref9" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn9;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[9]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, Harris-Stowe appealed, arguing
the jury instructions in the case were “erroneous and prejudicial.”<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn10;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[10]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Supreme Court of Missouri agreed,
and the judgment in favor of Dr. Kader was reversed and remanded for a new
trial.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/INetCache/Content.Outlook/J3UM9ZAI/Kader%20v%20HS%20-%20Final%20to%20Ray.docx#_ftn11" name="_ftnref11" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn11;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[11]</span></span></span></span></a></div>

In May of 2018,
the Trickett Wendler, Frank Mongiello, Jordan McLinn, and Matthew Bellina Right
to Try Act of 2017 (“Right to Try Act”) was signed into law in order to
“authorize the use of unapproved medical products by patients diagnosed with a
terminal illness” as an “alternative pathway alongside, existing expanded
access policies of the Food and Drug Administration [(“FDA”)]. . . .”<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/Documents/Law%20Review/Senior%20Associate%20Editor/Blog%20Posts/Baumgart%20-%20Final.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[1]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a> While drafting the law, questions arose over
what types of diseases and conditions would be covered by the Right to Try Act
and whether those differed from existing laws allowing access to
investigational drugs.<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/Documents/Law%20Review/Senior%20Associate%20Editor/Blog%20Posts/Baumgart%20-%20Final.docx#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[2]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
Given that nearly
45,000 Americans die of suicide each year,<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/Documents/Law%20Review/Senior%20Associate%20Editor/Blog%20Posts/Baumgart%20-%20Final.docx#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[3]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
and that people with severe mental illnesses have a twenty-times higher risk of
suicide than the general population,<a href="file:///C:/Users/Raymond%20Lee/Documents/Law%20Review/Senior%20Associate%20Editor/Blog%20Posts/Baumgart%20-%20Final.docx#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="font-family: &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">[4]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></a>
such questioning by the drafters begs another: Does the Right to Try Act allow
patients with severe mental illnesses access to experimental drugs absent a
comorbid physical condition?<o:p></o:p></div>
