State v. Greer

619 S.W.2d 65 | Mo. | 1981

Lead Opinion

Reexamination on order of the United States Supreme Court

PER CURIAM:

This case together with several others 1 was ordered reexamined in light of Alber-*66naz v. United States, 450 U.S. -, 101 S.Ct. 1137, 67 L.Ed.2d 275 (1981). Since all of the courts of appeals rulings were based upon our ruling in Sours v. State, 593 S.W.2d 208 (Mo. banc 1980) (Sours I) or Sours v. State, 603 S.W.2d 592 (Mo. banc 1980) (Sours II), those cases were all ordered transferred to this Court. Our examination of the double jeopardy issue made in light of Albernaz pursuant to the orders of the United States Supreme Court, appears in State v. Haggard, 619 S.W.2d 44 (Mo. banc No. 62227), decided July 14, 1981.

The original opinion filed by this Court, State v. Greer, 605 S.W.2d 93 (Mo.1980), is approved and affirmed and by reference made a part of this opinion. Sours v. State, 603 S.W.2d 592 (Mo.banc 1980) (Sours II), cert. denied, Missouri v. Sours, - U.S. -, 101 S.Ct. 953, 67 L.Ed.2d 118 (1981); and State v. Haggard, 619 S.W.2d 44 (Mo.banc 1981).

That part of the judgment pertaining to second degree murder is affirmed; that part pertaining to armed criminal action is reversed and the sentence vacated.

RENDLEN, Judge,

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I join the majority in its affirmance of appellant’s conviction for murder in the second degree. However, I dissent to that portion of the majority opinion reversing appellant’s conviction for armed criminal action for the same reasons set forth in my dissenting opinion in State v. Haggard, 619 S.W.2d 44, decided this date.
