Description
Bobby Lee Griffin was indicted for robbery in the first degree by means of a dangerous and deadly weapon, a revolver, committed
upon one William Patch, Jr. The charge was under § 556.280 of the Habitual Criminal Act, under which the evidence
affecting the punishment under said act is adduced before the jury for the assessment of the punishment by the jury. (Statutory
references are to RSMo 1949 and V.A.M.S. unless otherwise indicated.) The court, proceeding under the provisions of Laws 1959,
S.B. 117, repealing and reenacting said § 556.280, excused the jury, heard the evidence set forth hereinafter pertaining
to the habitual criminal charge, and found the State had established three prior convictions of appellant as alleged in the
indictment. The verdict of the jury found appellant guilty of robbery in the first degree by means of a dangerous and deadly
weapon as charged. Not having submitted the punishment to the jury, the court, under said S.B. 117, then assessed appellant's
punishment at thirty years' imprisonment in the State Penitentiary. The offense was committed November 24, 1958. The indictment was returned December 16, 1958. Laws 1959, S.B. 117 (repealing
and reenacting § 556.280) became effective August 29, 1959. The trial occurred in September, 1959. Appellant's motion
for new trial was overruled and judgment was entered October 30, 1959, in accordance with the verdict of guilty by the jury
and the punishment assessed by the court.
