Millett v. State

PER CURIAM

Terron Millett ("Millett") appeals from the motion court's denial of his post-conviction-relief motion without an evidentiary hearing. Following a bench trial, the trial court found Millett guilty of murder in the first degree and armed criminal action after he shot and killed a man at a gas station. Millett presents two points on appeal, both alleging that the motion court erred in denying his Rule 29.15¹ motion because trial counsel was ineffective. Point One contends that trial counsel failed to properly obtain Millett's informed consent to waive a jury trial. Point Two asserts that trial counsel failed to object to the State's aggressive and argumentative questioning of Millett during cross-examination.

We have reviewed the briefs of the parties and the record on appeal and find no error of law. No jurisprudential purpose would be served by a written opinion. However, the parties have been furnished with a memorandum opinion for their information only, setting forth the facts and reasons for this order.

The judgment of the trial court is affirmed in accordance with Rule 84.16(b).
