Criminal Law: Indigent Defendant-Pro Se Motion-Appointment Of Counsel
Staff Report//April 22, 2019//
Listen to this article
Where a defendant challenged the denial of post-conviction motion without the appointment of counsel, the motion court clearly erred in denying the defendant’s request since Rule 29.15 requires the appointment of counsel when an indigent defendant files a pro se motion.
Judgment is reversed and remanded.
Giles v. State (MLW No. 73083/Case No. ED106555 – 3 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, Ransom, J.) Appealed from circuit court, Audrain County, Dalton, J. (Susan Lynn Hogan for appellant) (Daniel Neal McPherson for respondent).
