Description
Defendant, Jimmy Massey, was found guilty by a jury of first degree murder and armed criminal action and sentenced by the
court to life imprisonment without parole and a concurrent term of thirty years. He also filed a post-conviction Rule 29.15
motion which was denied by the trial court. We have consolidated his appeals from both judgments. We reverse and remand for
a new trial. The evidence at trial was that at approximately 4:00 p.m. on May 17, 1989, Howard Meeks was shot to death on Cook Avenue
in the City of St. Louis. The State's case against the defendant rested largely on the identification testimony of two eyewitnesses,
Elbert Doggan and Theotis Pigge. In May of 1989, Doggan was the resident manager of an apartment complex on Cook Avenue, and
Pigge resided in one of the apartments. Both men testified they had seen the defendant, whom neither knew personally, in the
area a few times prior to the shooting. They also testified that on the day of the shooting they witnessed the defendant and
Meeks arguing and, finally, the defendant shooting the victim.
