Benedict v. State

RONALD R. HOLLIGER, Judge.

Richard Benedict sought reversal of his convictions for first-degree murder, section 565.020, RSMo 2000, 1 and armed criminal action, section 571.015, by filing a Rule 29.15 motion alleging ineffective assistance of his trial counsel. Benedict appeals the court’s denial of his motion claiming that the judgment did not contain sufficient findings of fact and conclusions of law as required by Rule 29.150. Because we find that the motion court did not include findings of fact and conclusions of law on all issues presented to it, we vacate the judgment and remand.
