Jackson v. State
Jackson v. State
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
Cleveland Jackson (hereinafter “Mov-ant”) appeals from the judgment denying his Rule 29.15 post-conviction motion after
Movant raises two points on appeal. Movant claims that the motion court clearly erred in denying his Rule 29.15 motion in that trial counsel was ineffective for failing to: 1) question prospective jurors as to whether they would automatically believe the incriminating testimony of a State witness even though he received consideration from the State for his testimony; and 2) failing to inform jurors in her opening statement that the State’s witness was testifying in exchange for a deal.
We have reviewed the briefs of the parties, the legal file, and the transcript and find the motion court’s decision was not clearly erroneous. Rule 29.15(k). An opinion reciting the detailed facts and restating the principles of law would have no precedential value. We have, however, provided a memorandum for the use of the parties only, setting forth the reasons for our decision. The judgment is affirmed pursuant to Rule 84.16(b).
