The appellate court determined that Owens' appointed counsel filed the amended post-conviction motion one day late, creating a presumption of abandonment. Consequently, the court vacated the motion court's order and remanded the case with instructions for the motion court to conduct an inquiry into whether Owens was abandoned by his counsel.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=198396","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/randall-owens-movant-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-respondent-d37515","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"],"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"}]}
