Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Eddie B. Linzie vs. State of Missouri
Eddie Linzie appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for postconviction relief, arguing his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to a police employee's testimony. The motion court denied relief, finding counsel was not ineffective because the testimony was admissible. The appellate court affirmed, holding that an issue reviewed and found to have no error on direct appeal cannot be relitigated as an ineffective assistance of counsel claim in a postconviction proceeding.
