Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Sep 6, 2022
JERRY GLENN HAFFLY ,Movant-Appellant v. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent-Respondent
Jerry Glenn Haffly appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, claiming his trial counsel had an actual conflict of interest because she previously represented the confidential informant (C.I.) in his case. The motion court denied relief after an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court affirmed, holding that Haffly failed to allege facts sufficient to demonstrate that trial counsel had an actual conflict of interest that adversely affected her performance, as required for an ineffective assistance of counsel claim.
