The motion court had granted post-conviction counsel's motion to treat an untimely amended motion as timely filed, but did so without making a sufficient record of its inquiry into abandonment by counsel. The Eastern District reversed and remanded, holding that merely signing and dating the timeliness motion and making a comment during a hearing was an insufficient record to allow for appellate review of the abandonment inquiry.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=137156","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/joseph-barber-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-106123","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":"appellant"}]}
