Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Mar 10, 2020
Daniell W. Bibbs, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.
Daniell Bibbs appealed the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief, arguing his guilty pleas were involuntary and unknowing, and that his plea counsel was ineffective. The motion court denied relief without an evidentiary hearing, finding the record refuted Bibbs' claims regarding the voluntariness and factual basis of his pleas. The appellate court affirmed, concluding that the motion court did not clearly err in finding the pleas were knowingly and voluntarily entered with sufficient factual bases, and that counsel was not ineffective.
