DOYLE EDWARD HITCHCOCK, Movant-Appellant v. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent-Respondent
Doyle Hitchcock appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 amended motion for post-conviction relief. He contended his trial counsel was ineffective for stipulating to a mistaken proposition of law regarding mandatory consecutive sentences. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's denial, holding that Hitchcock's specific claim of ineffective assistance of trial counsel was waived because it was not included in his amended Rule 29.15 motion, as required by appellate procedure.
