Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Mar 13, 2023
SAVON JONES, Appellant vs. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent
Savon Jones appealed the denial of his Rule 24.035 post-conviction relief motion, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel. Jones claimed his counsel failed to convey plea offers and failed to inform him of additional witness statements. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's denial, deferring to its credibility findings that counsel did discuss plea offers and review discovery, including a body camera video, with Jones.
