Mitchell v. State

311 S.W.3d 909, 2010 Mo. App. LEXIS 815, 2010 WL 2360629

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Charles Mitchell appeals from the trial court’s denial of his Rule 24.035 motion for post-conviction relief following an eviden-tiary hearing. Mitchell claims that the trial court erred in denying his Rule 24.035 motion because he did not enter his guilty plea knowingly, voluntarily, and intelligently in that he reasonably believed, based on plea counsel’s assurances, that he would not be charged as a prior and persistent offender. Mitchell contends that but for counsel’s assurances, he would have insisted on going to trial. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b).
