Description
Defendant was convicted of first degree burglary, § 560.040 RSMo 1969, and forcible rape, § 590.260 RSMo 1969, for breaking and entering into the apartment of one Ms. H and raping her on July 6, 1977. Defendant was also convicted of first degree burglary and assault with intent to maim with malice aforethought for breaking into the same apartment and attacking a second woman, Ms. R, on August 23, 1977. The two transactions, that which occurred on July 6, 1977, and that which occurred on August 23, 1977, were consolidated for trial by stipulation of the parties. This consolidation was initially suggested by defense counsel and later agreed to by the prosecutors. Defendant was found guilty by a jury on all four of the above counts. The court after finding that defendant had a previous conviction, sentenced him to ten years for each count of burglary, thirty years for the rape offense and thirty years for the assault count, all terms to run concurrently. The evidence shows that during July of 1977, Ms. H was a student at the St. Louis College of Pharmacy and that she lived in an apartment near that institution. At approximately 10:00 p.m. Ms. H, after having checked the doors and windows of her apartment, retired for the evening. At approximately 4:00 a.m. the following morning a young black male entered the apartment by forcing open a window screen. Ms. H was awakened, threatened with a knife and subsequently raped by the intruder. After completing the act the assailant ran out the back door. Ms. H telephoned her boyfriend who brought her to a hospital. At the hospital Ms. H was able to give the police a vague description of her assailant. She was later able to identify defendant as her attacker when examining police photographs and during a line-up session. Ms. H testified at trial that there was no question in her mind that defendant was her attacker. After recuperating Ms. H moved out of the apartment in which she had been attacked.
