Barnett v. State

KERRY L. MONTGOMERY, Presiding Judge.

David Barnett (Movant) appeals from a judgment of the Circuit Court of Taney County denying his Rule 29.15 motion to vacate, set aside or correct a prior judgment and sentence for ineffective assistance of counsel. Movant contends, in two subparts, that his defense counsel at trial failed to object to the trial court’s verbal instruction to the jury that it return with a unanimous verdict and also that his counsel failed to request an instruction under MAI-CR3d 312.10. We affirm.
