State v. McCoy

WEIER, Presiding Judge.

Defendant Robert McCoy appeals from his conviction for assault with intent to ravish with malice aforethought, § 559.180, RSMo.1969, for which he was sentenced to twenty-five years in the department of corrections under the Second Offender Act, § 556.280, RSMo.1969.

We affirm the conviction for the reasons that follow.
