Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Oct 6, 2023
GREG ALAN MARVIN, Appellant v. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent
Greg Alan Marvin appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief after an evidentiary hearing. Marvin argued the motion court plainly erred by failing to recuse itself after stating it prejudged the credibility of his first trial counsel. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, declining to review the unpreserved claim for plain error because Marvin failed to establish substantial grounds for believing a manifest injustice or miscarriage of justice resulted.
