Description
This is an appeal from a judgment of the circuit court of Jackson County entered on February 11, 1977, wherein the defendant-appellant,
William Oxley was fined $20.00 for exceeding the posted speed limit in the City of Kansas City in violation of a municipal
ordinance. Mr. Oxley was originally charged by the City in the municipal court and was fined $20.00. Defendant appealed to
the circuit court of Jackson County (Rule 37.38) where the charge was tried de novo (Rule 37.84). After a hearing before the
court he was found guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" of the charge of speeding and again fined $20.00. An appeal was taken
to the Court of Appeals, Western District. That court in a majority opinion filed October 2, 1978 held that there was no substantial
evidence to support the finding, reversed the cause and discharged the defendant. Two Judges Dissented. One of the Judges
certified that he deemed the opinion to be contrary to previous decisions of this court and the court of appeals and transferred
the cause to this court. We have jurisdiction. We now decide the case as an original appeal under the provisions of Art. V,
§ 10, Mo. Const. The facts are not complex but the legal issue is not easily resolved.
