Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Jul 30, 2025
GLENDA M. YOUNG, Appellant vs. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent
Glenda Young appealed the denial of her Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. Young argued that the motion court erred by failing to conduct an abandonment hearing after her amended motion was untimely filed. The appellate court vacated the motion court's denial of postconviction relief and remanded the case, holding that the motion court clearly erred by not conducting the required abandonment hearing.
