David M. Barnett, Appellant v. State of Missouri, Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of Missouri affirmed the denial of Barnett's Rule 29.15 motion without an evidentiary hearing and left his two death sentences undisturbed. The court held that Barnett's ineffective-assistance allegations were inadequately pleaded, refuted by the record, procedurally barred, or failed to establish prejudice, and that alleged deficiencies by post-conviction counsel were not reviewable. No separate opinions were filed.
