State v. Roberts

BOHLING, Commissioner.

Thomas J. Roberts appeals from a judgment imposing a sentence of life imprisonment for an assault on Willie Banks with intent to kill and with malice aforethought. The jury, on March 24, 1959, found defendant guilty under the habitual criminal act. Sections 559.180 and 556.280 RSMo 1949, V.A.M.S. Defendant has not filed a brief and we have for consideration his motion for new trial which, under the record, had little or nothing upon which to base error. Briefly of the facts.

The assault occurred at an automobile service station located at 4610 Page, St. Louis, Missouri.…
