Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Aug 3, 2021
Walter D. Combs, Appellant, vs. State of Missouri, Respondent.
Walter D. Combs, Jr. appealed the motion court's denial, without an evidentiary hearing, of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief. Combs alleged ineffective assistance of counsel, claiming his plea counsel misadvised him about his sentence and his sentencing counsel failed to introduce treatment records. The appellate court affirmed the motion court's decision, concluding that the record of the plea and sentencing hearings refuted Combs's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel.
