Clark v. State

PHILLIP R. GARRISON, Judge.

Jessica Lynn Clark (“Movant”) contends that the motion court clearly erred in denying her Motion to Vacate, Set Aside or Correct the Judgment or Sentence filed pursuant to Rule 29.15.1 Movant contended in her motion that trial counsel’s failure to offer a lesser included offense instruction on voluntary manslaughter constituted ineffective assistance of counsel which should result in relief from her jury conviction for the class A felony of second degree murder, § 565.021, for which she was sentenced to life in prison. We affirm the motion court’s ruling.
