Description
Appellant, hereinafter referred to as the defendant, was convicted in Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri, by
a jury, under Section 559.010, RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S., of murder in the first degree. In accordance with the verdict of the jury,
he was sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for life. In State v. Sykes, Mo. Sup., 372 S.W.2d 24, we affirmed the
conviction. A review of the record proper disclosed that defendant did not have counsel when his direct appeal was heard;
thus, we have heretofore set aside our judgment of affirmance and ordered the cause to be redocketed, and that counsel be
appointed. Counsel has now been appointed, the case briefed and argued, and once again is here for decision. Although defendant's motion for a new trial sets out six assignments of error, all of which were ruled upon in State v. Sykes,
supra, he has briefed and argued on this appeal only three grounds. Consequently, pursuant to our Rule 28.02, V.A.M.R. (1959),
1 we shall treat as waived or abandoned all assignments of error not presented and argued in the brief. State v. Jones,
Mo. Sup., 386 S.W.2d 111.
