He argued that his counsel's ineffective assistance, specifically regarding a delayed trial date, rendered his plea involuntary and unknowing. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding that the record directly refuted Martin's claims and that he failed to establish entitlement to relief for an evidentiary hearing.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=155514","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/matthew-d-martin-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-107883","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","text: felony"],"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"}]}
