Gregory B. Jones Missouri Cases

Gregory B. Jones appealed the motion court's denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief after being convicted of first-degree statutory sodomy. Jones raised three claims: a due process violation related to the Supreme Court of Missouri's denial of transfer after a change in law regarding propensity evidence, and two claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's denial, concluding that the due process claim was not cognizable and that Jones failed to demonstrate deficient performance or prejudice for his ineffective assistance claims.
