Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Antoine L. Ellis vs. State of Missouri
Antoine L. Ellis appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, asserting ineffective assistance of trial counsel for advising him not to testify. The motion court denied the motion after an evidentiary hearing, finding counsel's advice was strategic and Ellis failed to prove prejudice. The appellate court affirmed, concluding that Ellis did not demonstrate prejudice under Strickland v. Washington because his alternative suspect defense was already presented to the jury, and there was overwhelming evidence of his guilt.
