Easley argued that his guilty plea lacked a sufficient factual basis and that his plea counsel was ineffective for failing to advise him on the elements of first-degree assault. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's denial, holding that the factual basis claim was not cognizable in a post-conviction proceeding and deferring to the motion court's credibility findings regarding the ineffective assistance of counsel claim.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=177116","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/timothy-easley-movant-appellant-v-state-of-missouri-respondent-respondent-d36762","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
