Stephanie Maniscalco//September 14, 2018//
Listen to this articleWhere a defendant argued that the motion court erred in rejecting his Rule 24.035 motion alleging that plea counsel failed to advise him that he would have to serve 80 percent of his sentence, the judgment is affirmed because the court correctly found that plea counsel had no duty to advise him of the collateral consequences of a guilty plea.
Judgment is affirmed.
