Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Apr 13, 2021
Kevin T. Chandler, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.
Kevin T. Chandler appealed the denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief, challenging restitution sentences imposed after his guilty pleas. He argued the plea court exceeded its authority by imposing restitution with imprisonment and that the restitution amounts lacked evidentiary support. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, holding that Chandler waived these claims by knowingly and voluntarily pleading guilty pursuant to negotiated plea agreements that included the restitution terms.
