The Eastern District affirmed, concluding that Weinert failed to show the DWITS claim was so obvious that a reasonably competent attorney would have asserted it on direct appeal, especially since no appellate court had yet clarified the interpretation of Section 577.023.16.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","evidence","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=149215","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/bradley-r-weinert-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-107715","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"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: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
