#Suspended imposition trial#
Suspended imposition of sentence is not an appealable order for purposes of direct appeal and is not a "judgment" for purposes of applying for trial de novo in circuit court.ĭefendant who was convicted of careless and imprudent driving and received a suspended imposition of sentence cannot appeal his conviction. However both suspended impositions of sentence and suspended executions of sentence qualify as prior convictions for purposes of 21 U.S.C.S. Suspended executions of sentence are considered to be final judgments by Missouri courts, while suspended impositions of sentence are not.
§ 557.011.2 allows a court to Suspend the imposition of sentence, with or without placing the person on probation. However, it will be recorded in the courts internal records and therefore in case of similar violation in the future the courts will treat it as a prior offense. If the probationary period, is completed successfully the conviction will not show on the permanent record. This means that if the defendant pleads guilty, s/he will be given a sentence that is "suspended," and will be placed on probation for two years by law. Therefore normally an SIS is not considered a ‘conviction’ for anything other than law enforcement purposes.įor example, Suspended Imposition of Sentence (SIS) probation is generally available for Class B Misdemeanor DWI / BAC offenses in many counties in Missouri. If the defendant successfully completes probation, no sentence is actually ordered.
