And since the "expert" the Post Dispatch said that these things are decided on a case by case basis it is entirely possible that he had been told that this was all his property. If so it will provide him with yet another mitigating circumstance. And still not justifying his actions. A mess all the way around is a mild way of putting it. Another Conservation Department employee, a spokesman for the department, said it is a complicated aspect of Missouri law and that, typically, the question is answered on a case-by-case basis by county prosecutors. “This is an area of Missouri law still up in the air,” he added. A lawyer from Ozark, Mo., Harry Styron, has researched extensively the topic of property rights along streams and rivers. “These cases are really very confusing. They are difficult to interpret,” Styron said. “You are on private property, but you have a right to be there if it’s a navigable stream and as long as you are on a gravel bar that is submerged during parts of the year, because it’s part of the stream bed.” The property issues can be hard to sort out, he said. But either way, he said, “it obviously doesn’t have anything to do with people shooting people. We don’t have a stand-your-gravel-bar law yet.”
