Phillips alleged his plea counsel was ineffective for misadvising him about parole eligibility, making his plea involuntary. The motion court denied relief, finding the record refuted Phillips's claim. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that the plea hearing record, which contained only a general inquiry about confinement length, did not conclusively refute Phillips's specific allegations regarding parole eligibility advice.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=182019","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/lawrence-m-phillips-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-109546","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: 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"},{"caseId":"moappwd:doc-18136:undated","opinionId":"e468c86e-61f1-545f-9fe8-59f888f73855","slug":"state-of-missouri-respondent-v-lawrence-m-phillips-appellant-18136","caseName":"State of Missouri, Respondent, v.
