Johnson v. State

NUGENT, Judge.

Steven Johnson appeals from the hearing court’s order denying his Rule 27.26 motion for post-conviction relief. In April of 1985, the court sentenced Mr. Johnson to consecutive terms of ten years for promoting prostitution in the first degree and five years for promoting prostitution in the second degree. In his Rule 27.26 motion, he challenges only the first conviction, arguing that his trial counsel failed effectively to prepare his defense to that charge and that counsel’s conflict of interest prevented effective representation. We affirm.
