Supreme Court of Missouri / Jan 13, 2026
Craig M. Wood, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.
Citation: See State v. Primm, 347 S.W.3d 66
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.
