Orders of protection
Notice was enough for convictionÂ
The elements of violating an order of protection, class A misdemeanor included notice of the full order of protection, which included actual notice, even without service. The State satisfied that element with proof that the defendant respondent was present at the trial at which the circuit court granted the full order, as that order showed, and by the defendant’s earlier violations and pleas of guilty to charges of violating the order. The Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction.Â
