Description:

Saint Louis, MO– Criminal Defense lawyer represented defendant with appealing the judgment denying his amended motion that his trial counsel was ineffective.



Antonio Jackson ("Jackson") appeals the judgment of the Circuit Court of Jackson County
("motion court"), following an evidentiary hearing, denying Jackson's amended motion pursuant
to Rule 29.15. On appeal, Jackson argues the motion court erred in denying his amended motion
because (1) Jackson's trial counsel was ineffective in advising him to waive a jury trial due to
potential federal charges, which rendered Jackson's waiver not knowing, voluntary, and intelligent;
and (2) Jackson's trial counsel was ineffective in failing to request Dr. Witcher perform a complete
mental evaluation of Jackson and then failing to call Dr. Witcher as a witness during sentencing to
explain how Jackson's intellectual disability influenced his criminality.

Outcome: AFFIRMED
