Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Aushena Warren vs. State of Missouri
Aushena Warren appealed the denial of her Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel during her sentencing for second-degree murder and first-degree assault. Warren claimed counsel was ineffective for failing to present live character witnesses and for arguing for probation. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, affirmed the motion court's judgment, concluding that counsel's decisions were reasonable strategic choices and did not constitute deficient performance.
