David Jones v. State of Missouri

OPINION

James M. Dowd, Judge

David Jones was convicted by a jury of the felony charges of first-degree assault and armed criminal action. The trial court sentenced Jones to two concurrent terms of imprisonment: twelve years for first-degree assault, and three years-for-armed criminal action. Jones appealed the convictions in State v. Jones, 398 S.W.3d 518, 519 (Mo.App.E.D. 2013), and- this Court affirmed. Jones then filed a Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief The motion court denied it without an evidentiary hearing. We now consider Jones’s appeal of the motion court’s ruling.
