Description
Edward Lee McKee was found guilty by a jury of assault in the second degree, § 565.060, RSMo 1986, 1 armed criminal
action, § 571.015.1, and unlawful use of a weapon, § 571.030.1(4). McKee was sentenced to seven years
on the assault charge, five years on armed criminal action, and five years for unlawful use of a weapon. The sentences for
assault and unlawful use were ordered to be served concurrently but consecutively to the five-year term for armed criminal
action. McKee filed a motion under Rule 29.15 which was denied. McKee's appeal from both judgments has been consolidated.
McKee contends the court erred in overruling his 29.15 motion because of ineffectiveness of counsel for failing to challenge
two venirepersons for cause and also contends he was subjected to double jeopardy. Reversed and remanded. In the early morning hours of September 2, 1989, Christopher Harris was standing in front of a house in Columbia. Jerome
Jackson walked up and was later joined by McKee. McKee left but returned in a few minutes carrying a shotgun. Jackson called
for those standing near Harris to move out of the way, pulled a handgun from his jacket and began firing in the direction
of Harris. McKee started shooting at Harris with his shotgun. Harris was wounded in the head, face, and neck by shots fired
from the shotgun.
