He argued his plea was not knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently entered due to an insufficient factual basis and that his counsel was ineffective for failing to advise him of a sudden passion defense. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding the record conclusively refuted both claims regarding the voluntariness of his plea and the effectiveness of his counsel.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=126403","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/rwoeshan-booker-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-c96184","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"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"}]}
