Barker v. State

KENNETH W. SHRUM, Judge.

Randall Barker (“Movant”) appeals a judgment denying his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief from his convictions for forcible rape (§ 566.030), forcible sodomy (§ 566.060), and second degree assault (§ 565.060).1 Movant alleges the motion court erred in denying his motion because his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to investigate a witness that would have provided an alibi. Movant also alleges this failure to investigate forced him to take the stand and testify in his own behalf. The court did not err in denying Movant’s Rule 29.15 motion. We affirm.
