Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Oct 26, 2021
Marcus Greer, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.
Marcus Greer appealed the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, which alleged ineffective assistance of counsel. Greer claimed his counsel improperly discussed a plea offer with his parents and failed to object to prosecutor remarks. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's judgment, finding that the information shared with parents was not confidential and Greer failed to show he would have accepted the plea offer otherwise. The court also found no error in rejecting the claim regarding counsel's failure to object during closing argument.
