Nelson appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Nelson claimed counsel failed to investigate employment records to impeach a witness and failed to file a motion to suppress evidence from his wife's car. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding no clear error in the determination that Nelson failed to establish prejudice for the employment records claim, and no deficient performance for the suppression motion due to lack of standing.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","evidence","search-and-seizure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=215073","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/jessie-l-nelson-v-state-of-missouri-d86556","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","topic: search-and-seizure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction","text: suppression"],"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"},{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":4,"source":"text","evidence":["text: employment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
