CRIST, Judge.
Movant appeals from the denial of his Rule 27.26 motion after an evidentiary hearing. We affirm.
Movant was convicted by a jury of forcible rape with a deadly weapon and first degree robbery. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for the rape and a consecutive fifteen years’ imprisonment for the robbery. This court upheld the conviction on direct appeal. Tabor v. State, 657 S.W.2d 317 (Mo.App.1983).
Movant claims his trial attorney was ineffective for failing to request tests on the pubic hairs which were in the rape kit. Movant further claims his convictions should be vacated…
