Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / May 21, 2024
DAVID K. HOLMAN, Movant-Appellant v. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent-Respondent
David K. Holman appealed the motion court's denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, seeking to overturn his convictions for first-degree murder and armed criminal action. Holman alleged ineffective assistance of trial counsel for failing to hire a forensic expert and claimed the motion court erred by excluding and failing to consider certain exhibits. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding its denial of post-conviction relief was not clearly erroneous.
