He claimed his plea counsel was ineffective for misadvising him about eligibility for a 120-day shock incarceration program or a five-year minimum sentence. The appellate court affirmed the denial of relief regarding the five-year sentence claim, finding it refuted by the record. However, the court reversed and remanded the claim concerning the 120-day program because the motion court failed to issue specific findings of fact and conclusions of law on that issue.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=126978","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/keith-welch-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-105821","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":40,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
