State v. Cook

Supreme Court of Missouri

Decided November 8, 1971No. 55831Published

1Opinion of the Court

BARRETT, Commissioner.

Roy Cook, with a prior felony conviction, has been found guilty of intent to cheat and defraud by means of a “false or bogus check” and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. RSMo 1969, § 561.450, V. A.M.S.

Despite the fact that his lawyer has briefed and argued his cause in this court the appellant has lodged (also pro se) certain papers and a “pro se brief.” The brief and these documents display a mistaken if not complete lack of knowledge of the law and have no relevance to the record and so are not helpful to a disposition of the appeal. See State v. Leigh, Mo., 466…
