Description
The amended information in this case charged defendant with the crime of incest. See § 563.220 (unless otherwise
indicated all statutory references are to RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S.). He was also charged with a prior felony conviction. In accordance
with the provisions of § 556.280 the trial court held a hearing outside of the presence of the jury and found that
defendant had been priorly convicted of incest and sentenced to imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of seven years,
and had been imprisoned in the penitentiary under said sentence. The jury thereafter found the defendant guilty of the offense
charged. In compliance with the provisions of § 556.280(1) defendant's punishment was fixed by the trial court at
imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of seven years. Defendant has appealed. Defendant has filed no brief in this court so we will consider the assignments in his motion for new trial. Thirteen of the
sixteen assignments challenge, in different phraseology, the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the conviction. These
will therefore be considered together.
