The State appealed, arguing the claim was waived because it was not raised in Barajas's PCR motion. The appellate court reversed, holding that the motion court clearly erred by granting relief on a claim not presented in the movant's post-conviction motion, as such claims are waived.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"reversed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=135753","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/damien-michael-barajas-movant-respondent-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-a-d35358","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: civil-procedure","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
