Brian Jones appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, seeking to set aside his convictions for second-degree murder and armed criminal action. He alleged ineffective assistance of trial counsel on three grounds: failure to call a neuropsychologist at trial and sentencing, and failure to object to the trial court's explanation for excusing a juror. The motion court denied relief after an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court affirmed, finding the motion court's decision was not clearly erroneous and that counsel's actions constituted sound trial strategy or did not result in prejudice.
