State v. Pollard

WELLIVER, Judge.

Appellant, Roosevelt Pollard, Jr., was convicted of capital murder, 1 § 565.001, 2 RSMo 1978, 3 on August 29, 1985. On August 30, 1985, after finding aggravating circumstances, as required by § 565.012, 4 the jury imposed a sentence of death. Appellant appeals from both the conviction and sentence.

This Court has exclusive appellate jurisdiction in all cases in which the penalty of death is imposed. Mo. Const, art. V, § 3; State v. Schlup, 724 S.W.2d 236 (Mo. banc 1987), cert. denied, — U.S. —, 107 S.Ct. 3198, 96 L.Ed.2d 685 (1987). We affirm both the judgment and the sentence.
