White pleaded guilty to multiple charges and was sentenced to a total of 17 years, but alleged he was told he would receive 10 years. The motion court denied relief, finding White's testimony not credible and that the record showed he understood the 17-year sentence. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, deferring to its credibility determinations and finding no reasonable basis in the record for White's alleged belief of a 10-year sentence.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","evidence"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=190173","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/julius-white-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-110214","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":40,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: conviction","text: sentence"],"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"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
