Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Apr 4, 2023
Joanthony D. Johnson vs. State of Missouri
Joanthony Johnson appealed the motion court's denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, alleging five claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Johnson argued his counsel erred regarding a cell phone extraction agreement, the observation of his phone's passcode, the scope of a suppression motion, and a motion for improper joinder and severance. The Western District affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding no error in its denial of Johnson's claims.
