Owens v. State
Citations: 77 S.W.3d 667; 2002 Mo. App. LEXIS 1150; 2002 WL 1050318Docket: No. ED 80202
Court: Missouri Court of Appeals; May 28, 2002; Missouri; State Appellate Court
Jerome Owens, the appellant, appeals the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis' denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief without an evidentiary hearing. Owens was previously convicted by a jury of first-degree murder, first-degree assault, and two counts of armed criminal action, receiving a life sentence without parole for the murder charge. The sentences for armed criminal action and first-degree assault were 30 years and 15 years, respectively, with specific concurrent and consecutive terms outlined: Counts I and II served concurrently, Counts III and IV served concurrently, and Count III served consecutively to Counts I and II. The appellate court affirms the motion court's decision, stating that it is not clearly erroneous and finds no need for an extended opinion. The affirmation is made pursuant to Rule 84.16(b), with all statutory references cited from RSMo 2000.
