Moore claimed trial counsel was ineffective for failing to include definitions of \"knowingly\" and \"acted with criminal negligence\" in jury instructions, and that the motion court erred by not issuing findings on one of these claims. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's denial, finding no clear error and concluding that Moore failed to demonstrate prejudice from counsel's strategic decisions regarding jury instructions, and that a remand for findings was unnecessary.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","jury-instructions","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=192015","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/dwight-moore-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-110189","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","text: criminal"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: jury-instructions","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
