The letter indicated a 15-year plea offer and counsel's belief that the evidence only supported a lesser charge, which was contrary to counsel's prior testimony. The appellate court recalled its mandate, vacated its previous summary order and the motion court's judgment denying post-conviction relief. The case was remanded to the motion court with directions to reopen the evidentiary hearing to consider the newly available corroborating evidence.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","evidence","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=147194","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/cebron-cordell-finley-movant-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-res-d33564","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"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"}]}
