State v. Biddlegreen2 sentences1997Id. 1984While he expressly declined to find the polygraph test was a reasonable method of testing truthfulness, see State v. Biddle, 599 S.W.2d 182, 185 (Mo. banc 1980), he nonetheless found it to be a reasonable request to effectively prosecute Ingram. 1 The court made no finding on the issue raised by the motion to dismiss or enforce, nor did it find that defendant’s statement was legally voluntary. | 1 | 3 |
State v. Fieldsgreen2 sentences1980The certification of the case to this Court in the dissent of Pritchard, J., viewed the majority opinion in the court of appeals to be in conflict with Missouri law in three respects: first, that it misstated the circumstantial evidence rule set out in State v. Franco, 544 S.W.2d 533 (Mo.banc 1976) cert. denied, 431 U.S. 957 , 97 S.Ct. 2682 , 53 L.Ed.2d 275 ; and misapplied that rule by finding insufficient evidence to support conviction; second, "there is no preservation of the point on appeal that the polygraph test should have been excluded, i.e. that it was inadmissible for any purpose, . 1980The certification of the case to this Court in the dissent of Pritchard, J., viewed the majority opinion in the court of appeals to be in conflict with Missouri law in three respects: first, that it misstated the circumstantial evidence rule set out in State v.

Blevins v. Wagnongreen1 sentence2011The motion court specifically found Mov-ant’s motion hearing testimony “not credible.” The motion court found that plea counsel had researched the question of the admissibility of Son’s statements to Trooper Brannon and determined that they “probably would not be admissible.” The motion court also found that Son’s admissions were inseparable from the polygraph test itself and would not have been admissible at trial, citing State v. Hall, 955 *664 S.W.2d 198, 207 (Mo. banc 1997), and that plea counsel had exercised reasonable professional judgment in determining that Son’s admissions could not | 1 | 1 |
