Vincent McFadden appealed the circuit court's denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for postconviction relief from a death sentence for first-degree murder. He asserted multiple claims of ineffective assistance of trial counsel during both the guilt and penalty phases, as well as procedural errors in the postconviction proceedings. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, finding that counsel's strategic decisions were not deficient and did not prejudice McFadden, and that the circuit court's procedural rulings were not clearly erroneous.
Vincent McFadden appealed the motion court's denial of postconviction relief from his conviction and death sentence for first-degree murder.

The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the denial of relief, finding the motion court's findings and conclusions were not clearly erroneous and that counsel's strategic decisions were reasonable.
