State of Missouri, Respondent, vs. John A. Golden, Appellant.
Statute enhanced the sentence for offenses of which the elements included the value of property, but the value of property was not an element of stealing, so the Supreme Court of Missouri ruled that stealing was not subject to enhancement. That ruling applied prospectively to any action in which judgment was not final, including those in which circuit court suspended imposition of sentence, when the ruling issued.
Remanded for sentence without enhancement.
