Tinsley had entered an Alford guilty plea to robbery and armed criminal action. The motion court denied relief, finding plea counsel's testimony credible and Tinsley's and the co-defendant's testimony not credible. The Southern District affirmed, holding that Tinsley failed to demonstrate how counsel's alleged deficiency affected the voluntariness and knowledge of his guilty plea, and that the plea hearing transcript refuted his claims.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=206114","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/terrence-tyrell-tinsley-jr-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-d38095","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","text: criminal"],"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"}]}
