Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Feb 13, 2019
John Marshall, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.
John Marshall appealed the motion court's denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, alleging ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Marshall claimed his counsel failed to object during the prosecutor's cross-examination and opening statement, failed to present medical records, and failed to impeach a witness. The motion court denied relief after an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding no clear error in its conclusions that trial counsel was not ineffective.
