Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Jul 3, 2018
Lance C. Butler vs. State of Missouri
Lance Butler appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, arguing ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to object to prior bad acts evidence and failing to depose witnesses. He also requested a remand to correct a clerical error in his judgment via a nunc pro tunc order. The appellate court affirmed the denial of post-conviction relief, finding no ineffective assistance, and denied the request for remand, holding that the issue was not properly preserved on appeal from a Rule 29.15 motion.
