501 S.W.2d 551

State v. Johnson

Missouri Court of Appeals

Decided November 5, 1973

Missouri Court of Appeals · decided 1973-11-05

Relies on State v. Kopf · State v. Sullivan

Decided 1973-11-05

PER CURIAM:

¶1In a jury-waived case, the appellant was convicted of assault with intent to kill with malice aforethought and sentenced to twenty years. Defendant filed a motion for a new trial alleging two points. The same two points are raised on appeal. One, the judgment was not supported by sufficient evidence. Two, it was error for the trial court to permit the recall of the complaining witness before the close of the state’s case.

¶2A review of the uncontradicted testimony, in light of the applicable law, reveals that the appellant’s first point is without merit. See State v. Kopf, 481 S.W.2d 7 (Mo.1972). Appellant’s second point is unavailing in view of State v. Sullivan, 452 S.W.2d 802 (Mo.1970).

¶3The judgment of the trial court was based on findings of fact which are not clearly erroneous and an opinion in this case would have no precedential value. V.A.M.R. Rule 84.16(b).

¶4Judgment affirmed.

¶5All concur.
