Stuart appealed the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief after pleading guilty to resisting arrest and drug distribution charges. He argued ineffective assistance of counsel regarding eligibility for a long-term drug program (LTDP) and double jeopardy for his resisting arrest convictions. The appellate court affirmed the denial of relief on the double jeopardy claims, finding distinct acts of resistance. However, it reversed and remanded the denial of relief concerning the LTDP, holding that Stuart's plea was involuntary due to a reasonable mistaken belief about his eligibility, which was based on his counsel's ineffective advice.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=136035","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/michael-w-stuart-appellantmovant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-106050","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: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
