Description
Ann K. Covington, Judge This is an appeal from an order, following an evidentiary hearing, denying Margie Burks' motion under Rule 27.26 grounded exclusively in allegations of ineffective assistance of counsel. The appellant's motion sought to vacate her conviction and eleven-year sentence for manufacturing marijuana, § 195.200.1, RSMo 1978, which was imposed, but suspended, on November 9, 1983, and ordered executed on September 30, 1985, following the revocation of the appellant's probation. Appellant asserts that her counsel was ineffective because he did not inform her of the elements of the crimes charged, did not inform her of the range of punishment for those crimes, did not discuss with her the evidence the state possessed, did not discuss her right to a jury trial or her right to subpoena witnesses, and did not investigate or pursue discovery.
