State v. McCrary

TURNAGE, Judge.

John G. McCrary entered a plea of guilty to a charge of sexual abuse in the first degree, § 566.100, RSMo 1986,1 and was sentenced by the court to a term of five years. McCrary contends that the court did not acquire jurisdiction to accept his plea and assess punishment because the State filed an amended information which charged a different offense. Affirmed.

McCrary was charged with rape, § 566.030 in the Circuit Court of Grundy County. Thereafter the case was transferred to Harrison County on a change of venue. A trial resulted in a hung jury and the court declared a mistrial.
