“To establish a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to locate and interview witnesses, the defendant must show not only that the witnesses could have been located through reasonable investigation, but it must also be shown that the witnesses would testify if called, and that the testimony would have provided a viable defense.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Cobb · State v. Clay“). A new judge was assigned to preside over the evidentiary hearing on remand. The motion court took judicial notice of the trial transcript from Anderson I , the transcripts and evidence from Anderson II and Anderson III , and the transcript from Anderson IV , along with other exhibits concerning witnesses who testified previously, but were unavailable for the current hearing. After hearing additional live testimony on Movant's behalf, the motion court issued findings of fact and conclusions of law, made credibility determinations, and denied Movant relief. Movant now appeals, raising ten claims of error. Standard of Review This Court reviews the denial of post-conviction relief to determine whether the motion court's findings of fact and conclusions of law are clearly erroneous. Rule 29.15(k). "A judgment is clearly erroneous when, in light of the entire record, the court is left with the definite and firm impression that a mistake has been made.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Anderson v. State“This motion was filed eight months after counsel was appointed to represent mov-ant. Counsel had only 60 days to amend movant’s pro se petition. The time limits of Rule 29.15 are valid and mandatory. Consequently, these claims were waived when movant failed to include them in her amended motion for post-conviction relief.”
