Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Jan 13, 2026

Harry Little, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.

cited

Citation: McFadden v. State, 619 S.W.3d 434

The court affirmed the denial of post-conviction relief for Harry Little's convictions for murder in the second degree, armed criminal action, and unlawful possession of a firearm. Trial counsel's decisions not to call an alibi witness and not to argue a specific alternative perpetrator in closing argument constituted reasonable trial strategy rather than ineffective assistance of counsel.

Supreme Court of Missouri / Jan 13, 2026

Craig M. Wood, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.

cited

Citation: McFadden v. State, 619 S.W.3d 434

Craig Wood appealed the overruling of his Rule 29.15 motion for postconviction relief challenging his first-degree murder conviction and death sentence for the 2014 abduction and murder of 10-year-old Hailey Owens. The court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding no ineffective assistance of counsel or other grounds for postconviction relief warranting reversal of Wood's conviction and sentence.
