2 sentences

1982Chief Justice Donnelly filed a dissenting opinion which quoted Judge Wasserstrom of the Western District in Williams v. State, 507 S.W.2d 664, 666 (Mo.App.1974): “Were a prisoner permitted to challenge the effectiveness of his legal counsel at the first 27.26 hearing by means of filing a second 27.26, then he could likewise challenge his representation at the second hearing by filing a third 27.26, and so on ad infinitum.

1981To borrow from Judge Wasserstrom in Williams v. State, 507 S.W.2d 664, 666 (Mo.App.1974): “Were a prisoner permitted to challenge the effectiveness of his legal counsel at the first 27.26 hearing by means of filing a second 27.26, then he could likewise challenge his representation at the second hearing by filing a third 27.26, and so on ad infinitum.

Brauch v. Stategreen
mo · 1983 · cited in 2 Missouri opinions naming this issue, 1989–1989
2 sentences

1989The policy behind prohibiting attacks on effective assistance of counsel in a prior post-conviction proceeding was reiterated by the Missouri Supreme Court in Brauch v. State, 653 S.W.2d 380, 381 (Mo.banc 1983): Were a prisoner permitted to challenge the effectiveness of his legal counsel at the first 27.26 hearing by means of filing a second 27.26, then he could likewise challenge his representation at the second hearing by filing a third 27.26, and so on ad infinitum.

1989This could go on ‘ad infini-tum’ and ‘intolerably clutter the courts and would reduce the whole legal process to ridicule.’ ” Comparing movant’s contention to successive claims of ineffectiveness of legal counsel in handling Rule 27.26 motions respondent cites and quotes from Branch v. State, 653 S.W.2d 380, 381 (Mo. banc 1983), quoting Williams v. State, 507 S.W.2d 664, 666-667 (Mo.App.1974).
