Clay v. State
Missouri Court of Appeals
1Opinion of the Court
CYNTHIA L. MARTIN, Judge.
Carla Clay appeals the motion court’s judgment denying her Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief after an eviden-tiary hearing. Clay was found guilty of two counts of first degree murder and sentenced to two terms of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Clay contends that the trial court erred in denying her motion for post-conviction relief because trial counsel was ineffective for failing to: (1) object to expert witness testimony; (2) file a motion to sever the two counts of murder in the first degree; and (3) depose Clay’s father. We affirm.
