The motion court did not clearly err. Appellant’s claims were entirely conclusions! They were, as the motion court put it, “barren of the proposed substance of any testimony.” In addition, the allegation in the amended motion that one or more of the mental health professionals or others with similar education and training would have diagnosed a mental problem and presented this to the jury fails to allege facts sufficient to warrant an evidentiary hearing. See State v. Harris, 870 S.W.2d 798, 815 (Mo. banc), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 953, 115 S.Ct. 371, 130 L.Ed.2d 323 (1994).
