Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Date unavailable
AUDRA JOYCE, Petitioner-Movant v. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent-Respondent
Audra Joyce appealed the motion court's denial of her Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief. She claimed ineffective assistance of counsel, alleging her attorney misadvised her on sentencing, leading to an involuntary guilty plea, and failed to call her mother as a witness at sentencing. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding no clear error in its findings that counsel was not ineffective and the plea was knowing, voluntary, and intelligent.
