Post-Conviction Relief
Effectiveness Of Counsel
Instructions
Where a defendant challenged the denial of post-conviction relief, arguing that his counsel was ineffective, the state’s instruction did not strictly comply with requirements, but the defendant failed to show that there was a reasonable probability that the outcome of his trial would have been different if the proper instruction had been given, so the judgment is affirmed.
Judgment is affirmed.
King v. State (MLW No. 77786/Case No. WD84079 – 16 pages) (Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, Witt, J.) Appealed from circuit court, Harrison County, Alley, J. (Carol Jansen, Columbia, for appellant) (Evan Joseph Buchheim, Jefferson City, for respondent).
