Description
In State v. Blevins, Mo., 421 S.W.2d 263; we affirmed a conviction of the defendant herein for first degree robbery with a
dangerous and deadly weapon. That conviction involved the taking by defendant Blevins of a leather jacket from one Allen Jones.
In this case, defendant was charged and convicted by reason of the taking, on the same occasion, by a codefendant, Eddie Brown,
of a leather jacket from one Ray Moore. A severance was granted and Blevins was tried separately from Eddie Brown. The jury
assessed defendant's punishment at five years' imprisonment and, after an unsuccessful motion for new trial, he appeals. A brief summary of the evidence will suffice for this appeal. It disclosed that on the evening of December 4, 1965, Ray Moore,
Allen Jones and Jones' sister Deborah left Moore's residence in an apartment building at 2310 Cass Avenue in St. Louis and
went to the bus stop at 2300 Cass. They then decided to cross the street to a grocery store to get some candy. While in the
store they noticed several boys looking in the store window. Shortly, Moore, Jones and Deborah left the store and returned
to the bus stop. Almost immediately, two of the boys who had been looking in the store window (later identified as defendant
Blevins and Eddie Brown) crossed the street and approached the three young people standing at the bus stop. Both defendant
and Brown had revolvers. Moore and Jones were wearing three-quarter length black leather jackets and Blevins said to them,
"Get out of those coats." Defendant Blevins was facing Jones and took his coat. Moore was a little slow taking off his coat
and defendant remarked that they might have to shoot if he didn't get out of the coat. Moore then removed the coat and it
was taken by Eddie Brown, who was facing him. Blevins and Brown then left.
