Luster v. State

NUGENT, Chief Judge.

A jury found defendant-movant Eddie L. Luster guilty of second degree murder and armed criminal action, and the court sentenced him to two consecutive terms of life imprisonment. We affirmed that judgment in State v. Luster, 750 S.W.2d 474 (Mo.App.1988). Thereafter, he sought relief in a Rule 29.15 motion, but the circuit court dismissed his motion without an evidentia-ry hearing. He now contends that the motion court clearly erred in summarily denying his claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. We reverse and remand for further proceedings under Rule 29.15.
