Description
Before Breckenridge, P.J.; Shangler, J. and Spinden, J. Galen P. Stewart appeals from his conviction for arson in the second degree, § 569.050, RSMo Cum. Supp. 1989, for which he was sentenced, as a prior and persistent offender, to fifteen years imprisonment. He also appeals from the motion court's denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief. Stewart presents four points on appeal, claiming that the trial court erred in: (1) overruling his motion for acquittal and motion for new trial and entering judgment of guilty because the State did not present sufficient evidence to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, every element of the offense charged; (2) denying him post-conviction relief because he was denied effective assistance of counsel in that trial counsel failed to properly impeach prosecution witness Janice Helton's credibility; (3) denying him post-conviction relief because he was denied effective assistance of counsel in that trial counsel failed to advise Stewart of the correct range of punishment he faced as a prior and persistent offender; and (4) submitting instruction number four because such does not accurately define reasonable doubt.
