Richard B. Teitelman
Richard B. Teitelman is a judge of the Supreme Court of Missouri〔Missouri State Courts website. (Supreme Court Judges ) (Last visited August 19, 2013.)〕
He was born in Philadelphia, and is the youngest of three children. At age 13, he was diagnosed as being legally blind. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1969. Moving to Missouri, he earned his law degree from Washington University in St. Louis in 1973. Following a brief stint in private practice, he worked at Legal Services of Eastern Missouri for 23 years, including 18 years as executive director and general counsel. He was also President of the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis. In 1998, he was appointed to the Missouri Court of Appeals by Governor Mel Carnahan, serving in that capacity until his appointment to the state Supreme Court by Governor Bob Holden in 2002. He is both the first Jewish and the first legally blind judge on Missouri's highest court.
Teitelman's ascension to the court marked a shift in the court's balance from majority Republican-appointees since the mid-1980s. The court split along these lines in 2003, when the 4-3 liberal majority held that execution of juveniles is cruel and unusual punishment under the Missouri Constitution,〔Marc Powers (August 31, 2003). "(High court shows shift on death sentences )". ''Southeast Missourian''. 〕 a decision ultimately affirmed by the United States Supreme Court in ''Roper v. Simmons''. In 2003, Teitelman wrote the majority opinion for a divided Supreme Court overturning a murder conviction where the only evidence was the testimony of three eyewitnesses—fellow prisoners at the time—that had all recanted. Although Teitelman agreed that the convicted man had exhausted all of his appeals, he reasoned that clear and convincing evidence of innocence acts as a "gateway" for further review.〔Dave Lindorff (May 1, 2003). "(Dead man walking home )". Salon.com. 〕
Teitelman faced a significant retention challenge in 2004. Missouri attorneys supported his retention by an 80% margin (albeit one of the lowest support rates that year).〔Bev Darr (October 27, 2004). "(Six judges on election ballot: Lawyers rate them in survey )". ''Hannibal Courier-Post''. 〕 The ad hoc "Missourians Against Liberal Judges" started what the ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'' editorial page called a "smear campaign" against him.〔Editorial page. "(DECISION 2004: Missouri Supreme Court judge ) ". ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch''. October 27, 2004. 〕 Teitelman won retention. His current term expires at the end of 2016.
