Description
In 1964, Roland Hayes Brown was charged with murder in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis. He pleaded not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect, and after a psychiatric examination the State accepted the plea. A judgment of acquittal was then entered which included the following provision: ""It is further ordered by the Court that the care and maintenance of said defendant be taxed as costs against the City of Saint Louis, State of Missouri."" As required by § 552.040 (all statutory references herein, unless otherwise noted, being the RSMo 1969), Brown was then committed to State Hospital No. 1 at Fulton. In connection with Brown's admittance, the City remitted to the hospital a warrant covering expenses for the first six months. However, the City also wrote that their financial investigation just completed showed that Brown had a service connected disability rated by the Veterans' Administration at 100%, that he was under guardianship and that he had an estate of approximately $5,000. The City requested on the basis of these facts that the payment advanced by it be returned and that Brown be reclassified as a private pay patient whose care should be paid by his guardian.
