Description
Defendant was found guilty by a jury of assault with intent to kill with malice aforethought and upon a finding by the trial court of a prior felony conviction was sentenced by the court to life imprisonment. The judgment was affirmed on appeal. State v. Roberts, Mo., 332 S.W.2d 896. The evidence was detailed in that opinion. On February 24, 1965, defendant filed in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis what is captioned ""Petition for Certificate of Probable Cause. Title 28 U-S-C. Section. 2253, To The Circuit Court's City of St. Louis, Missouri, 6-23-1964 Motion To Vacate Sentence and Judgments. No. 193."" In the body of the petition reference also is made to Rule 27.26 of the Criminal Rules of this Court (V.A.M.R.). The petition was treated by the trial court and will be treated by us as a petition to vacate judgment and sentence pursuant to Rule 27.26. State v. Campbell, Mo., 307 S.W.2d 486. The trial court denied the petition without a hearing, and this is an appeal from that order.
