Description
Douglas W. Greene, Judge Defendant, Kenneth Wayne Heistand, was jury-convicted of first degree robbery, § 569.020, 1 and second degree assault, § 565.060, and thereafter sentenced, after a finding that he was a persistent offender, to consecutive sentences of life imprisonment for robbery and ten years for assault. On appeal, Heistand does not question the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the convictions. It suffices to say that substantial evidence was introduced at trial from which the jury could find, beyond a reasonable doubt, that on January 5, 1981, Heistand and John Sprous, wearing ski masks and coveralls, entered the United Health Center Pharmacy in Springfield, Missouri. Sprous was armed with a rifle. Heistand approached the pharmacist, Charles Cantwell, and demanded dilaudid, which is a controlled substance. When Cantwell was slow to comply, he was slapped by Heistand and shot by Sprous. His wound was not fatal, and Cantwell was able to procure three bottles of the drug, which he gave to the robbers through fear of force.
