Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Aug 2, 2022
Anthony Balbirnie vs. State of Missouri
Anthony Balbirnie appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 post-conviction relief motion, which alleged a Brady violation, multiple claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel, and that the State knowingly presented false evidence. The motion court denied relief after an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding no clear error in its conclusions that no Brady violation occurred, counsel was not ineffective under Strickland, and the State did not knowingly present false evidence.
