Hudson appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 post-conviction relief motion, alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Hudson claimed counsel failed to request lesser-included offense instructions and failed to call his father as a defense witness to corroborate his coerced confession claim. The Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding counsel's decisions were reasonable trial strategy and that the father's testimony would not have provided a viable defense.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","jury-instructions","evidence","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=133577","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/ryan-h-hudson-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-106162","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: jury-instructions","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
