Charles v. State
Charles v. State
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
Maurice Charles appeals from the denial, after an evidentiary hearing, of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief. The appellant was convicted, after a bench trial in the Circuit Court of Jackson Coun
In his sole point on appeal, the appellant claims that the motion court clearly erred in denying, after an evidentiary hearing, his Rule 29.15 motion, alleging ineffective assistance of counsel, based on its finding that there was no prejudice to appellant from trial counsel’s alleged deficient actions, because the evidence presented at the motion hearing conclusively established that the outcome of his trial would have been different but for his trial counsel’s failure to offer expert medical testimony, on the issue of diminished capacity, that he suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.
We affirm pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
