Proudie appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion to set aside his convictions for first-degree murder and armed criminal action, alleging six points of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Proudie claimed counsel failed to strike a biased juror, failed to call three material witnesses, failed to impeach a key witness, and failed to argue a proper hearsay exception for another witness's testimony. The Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding that trial counsel's decisions were reasonable trial strategy or that Proudie failed to demonstrate prejudice.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","evidence","jury-instructions"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=186270","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/dyanthany-y-proudie-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-109543","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: 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: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
