Description
By an information filed in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, defendant was charged with the crime of robbery in the first degree, as defined in Γ§ 560.120 RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S., (to which revision all statutory references herein are made unless otherwise indicated). The information also alleged the prior conviction of defendant of the felony of escaping from imprisonment upon a criminal charge, before conviction, for which he had been sentenced to and served a term of six months imprisonment in the St. Louis City Workhouse. Trial to a jury, at which defendant was represented by court-appointed counsel, resulted in a verdict finding defendant guilty of robbery in the first degree as charged in the information. After hearing evidence outside the presence and hearing of the jury, the trial Judge found that defendant had also been convicted of and imprisoned for the felony of escaping from imprisonment prior to conviction as alleged in the information. Defendants motion for new trial was thereafter overruled and he was by the court sentenced to custody of the Department of Corrections of the State of Missouri to be imprisoned in the manner provided by law for a term of seven years. Defendant, by his court-appointed counsel, perfected his appeal to this court, but no brief has been filed in his behalf. We, therefore, review all of the sufficiently alleged assignments of error set forth in his motion for new trial, as required by S. Ct. Rule 27.20, and the portions of the record required by S. Ct. Rule 28.02, 4 RSMo 1959, pp. 4923 and 4925; 1 V.A.M.R., pp. 207 and 235.
