Jones argued that his plea counsel had an actual conflict of interest because counsel represented both Jones and his co-defendant. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding no clear error. The court concluded that the record, including Jones's signed waiver of potential conflict and his on-record acknowledgments, refuted his claim of an actual conflict of interest adversely affecting counsel's performance.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","other","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=192296","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/robert-s-jones-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-110457","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"}]}
