Description
Appellant (hereinafter referred to as movant) was found guilty of First Degree Robbery and was sentenced by the court under
the Second Offenders Act to fifteen (15) years. His conviction was affirmed on direct appeal. State of Missouri v. Roscoe
Thomas, 491 S.W.2d 328 (Mo. 1973). He thereupon filed a pro se motion under Rule 27.26 to vacate and set aside this conviction,
in which he alleged that his constitutional rights had been violated and he had not been afforded a fair trial because (among
other grounds asserted but not pertinent here) he was deprived of effective assistance of counsel. New counsel was appointed
for movant and an evidentiary hearing was held in the court below, at the Conclusion of which the trial court made findings
of fact and Conclusions of law and denied post conviction relief. This appeal followed in due course and in proper form. The transcript of the trial in the criminal case was offered as an exhibit in the evidentiary hearing on the Rule 27.26
motion and is before this court. It has been carefully studied and it is necessary to the determination of this matter that
some of the facts there disclosed be reviewed.
