The motion court denied the relief after an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court dismissed the appeal because Sanders failed to comply with Rule 81.12 by not filing the necessary plea and sentencing transcripts, which precluded meaningful review of the issues raised.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"dismissed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=209176","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/romell-sanders-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-111749","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"}]}
