Farr appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, which alleged ineffective assistance of counsel following his conviction for statutory sodomy. The motion court denied Farr's claims after an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court dismissed the appeal because Farr's brief failed to comply with mandatory appellate briefing rules, specifically Rule 84.04, by presenting an incomplete statement of facts, multifarious points relied on, and arguments that did not explain how legal principles interacted with the facts.","primaryTopic":"appellate-procedure","topicSlugs":["appellate-procedure","criminal-procedure","other"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=194833","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/spenser-a-farr-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-d37645","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"}]}
