Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Feb 26, 2025
KIMBERLY K. HENDERSON, Appellant vs. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent
Kimberly Henderson appealed the denial of her Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief, challenging her guilty plea to first-degree robbery. She argued prosecutorial misconduct due to lack of probable cause for the initial murder charge and ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to file a bond motion. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding the prosecutor had probable cause for the murder charge and that plea counsel's decision not to seek bond was a matter of trial strategy that did not render the guilty plea involuntary.
