Cardin appealed the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. He claimed ineffective assistance of counsel, alleging his plea counsel promised him long-term treatment, rendering his guilty plea involuntary. The motion court denied relief, finding the record refuted Movant's claim. The appellate court affirmed, concluding that the record conclusively showed Movant was not entitled to relief, as the plea court, prosecutor, and plea counsel all indicated he was not eligible for long-term treatment.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","other","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=230773","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/dieckon-t-cardin-movant-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-responde-d39041","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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
