West appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel. West contended that his prior Kansas conviction for \"attempted felony theft\" did not qualify as a \"stealing-related offense\" under section 570.040.2, and thus his current stealing convictions were improperly enhanced. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's denial, holding that \"attempted stealing\" is a \"stealing-related offense\" under the statute, and therefore, counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise a non-meritorious claim.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review","other"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=164595","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/antonio-d-west-v-state-of-missouri-d83013","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":40,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
