Description
Steven A. Mayo appeals after verdict and sentence on the charge of first-degree robbery and the subsequent denial, after an evidentiary hearing, of his Rule 29.15 motion for post conviction relief. Mayo was sentenced to twenty years imprisonment as a prior and persistent offender. Section 569.020 RSMo 1994. We affirm. Defendant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence. At approximately 11:00 p.m. on February 14, 1994, Peter McCann, a graduate student at Washington University, was returning from the University to his apartment at 750 Westgate. He was walking east on Delmar Avenue in an area with ""pretty good lighting"". A black male, later identified as defendant Steven Mayo, crossed Delmar and began walking beside McCann. Defendant asked McCann to do him a favor and ""help [him] out with a couple bucks."" McCann offered the change in his pocket which defendant refused, stating he wanted ""a couple bucks."" When McCann said he didn't have that much, defendant said, ""Man, why are you doing this to me? Why are you lying to me?"" Defendant then put his hand inside his coat, turned toward McCann and said, ""I could pop you right here. If you run, if you say anything, I'm gonna blow your head off."" After McCann told him to calm down, defendant ordered McCann to ""give me your stuff."" McCann handed over his wallet. Defendant gave it back, saying he was ""just jokin'."" However, he again demanded money. He became ""very, very angry,"" put his hand inside his coat and said, ""I'm not jokin' this time. Give me your stuff."" McCann handed his wallet back to defendant who told McCann, ""I'm gonna teach you a lesson."" After going through the wallet, defendant pulled out $15, threw the wallet back to McCann and continued walking north on Westgate.
