Swearengin v. State
Citations: 369 S.W.3d 806; 2012 Mo. App. LEXIS 891; 2012 WL 2731965Docket: No. WD 73743
Court: Missouri Court of Appeals; July 10, 2012; Missouri; State Appellate Court
Rodney Swearengin's appeal of the circuit court's judgment, which denied his motion for post-conviction relief, has been reviewed. Swearengin had previously entered an Alford plea to attempted sexual misconduct involving a child under fourteen and was sentenced to four years in prison. The motion court's findings of fact and conclusions of law were determined not to be clearly erroneous, leading to the affirmation of the denial of post-conviction relief. A memorandum outlining the reasons for this decision has been provided to the parties involved.
