STANDIFER v. STATE (2019)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

Marlyn STANDIFER, Appellant, v. STATE of Missouri, Respondent.

WD 80920

Decided: April 30, 2019

Before Division Two: Thomas N. Chapman, Presiding Judge, Mark D. Pfeiffer, Judge and Cynthia L. Martin, Judge

Natalie Hull Hoge, Kansas City, MO, for appellant. Shaun J. Mackelprang, Jefferson City, MO, for respondent.

ORDER

Marlyn Standifer appeals from the denial of his post-conviction motion following an evidentiary hearing. Standifer argues that the motion court clearly erred in denying his motion because trial counsel was ineffective for conceding during closing argument that Standifer, who was charged as an accomplice, was in the getaway car without arguing that all of the essential elements of attempted robbery and burglary were not supported by the State's evidence. Finding no error, we affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
