Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Melinda Tillitt vs. State of Missouri
Melinda Tillitt appealed the denial of her Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief, which alleged ineffective assistance of trial and resentencing counsel. She argued trial counsel failed to object to verdict directors and resentencing counsel failed to present mitigation evidence. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's denial, finding that Tillitt waived her claims regarding trial counsel's objections to jury instructions and the psychologist's testimony by not properly raising them in her motion. The court also found she failed to prove prejudice regarding the omission of mental health records at resentencing.
