DANA DAY JR v. STATE OF MISSOURI (2026)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

DANA R. DAY, JR., Appellant, v. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent.

WD87775

Decided: March 31, 2026

BEFORE DIVISION THREE: KAREN KING MITCHELL, PRESIDING JUDGE, LISA WHITE HARDWICK, JUDGE, JANET SUTTON, JUDGE

Attorneys: Justin Ortiz, Kansas City, for Appellant, Daniel N. McPherson, Jefferson City, for Respondent

ORDER

Dana Day appeals from the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion following his convictions for first-degree assault and second-degree assault. He contends his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to object to a statement made during the State's closing argument. Upon review of the briefs and the record, we find no error and affirm the post-conviction judgment. We have provided the parties with a Memorandum explaining the reasons for our decision, because a published opinion would have no precedential value.

AFFIRMED. Rule 84.16(b).
