Text: Walter Timothy Storey was sentenced to death for the murder of Jill Frey, life-imprisonment for armed criminal action, seven years for burglary, and five years for tampering. Two previous juries had sentenced Storey to death. Those sentencing trials were reversed for evidentiary and counsel errors. State v. Storey, 986 S.W.2d 462 (Mo. banc 1999); State v. Storey, 901 S.W.2d 886 (Mo. banc 1995). This Court upheld the third sentencing on direct appeal. State v. Storey, 40 S.W.3d 898 (Mo. banc 2001). Storey now seeks post-conviction relief under Rule 29.15. He alleges 13 points of error with multiple subpoints, which allegedly denied him effective assistance of counsel, due process, and freedom from cruel and unusual punishment. The motion court denied post-conviction relief. This Court affirms.
