Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Nov 20, 2018
Aaron Naylor vs. State of Missouri
Aaron Naylor appealed the circuit court's denial of his pro se Rule 24.035 motion, which sought to vacate his conviction and sentence for first-degree child molestation. The circuit court had denied the motion as untimely without appointing counsel. The appellate court reversed the judgment and remanded the case, holding that the motion court erred by failing to appoint counsel for an indigent movant, even when the pro se motion was facially untimely.
