Description
The defendant, Glenn Edward Mitts, was charged with stealing property having a value of more than $50. See Sections 560.156
and 560.161 (unless otherwise indicated all statutory references are to RSMo 1959, V.A.M.S.). The amended information also
charged three prior felony convictions. In accordance with the provisions of Section 556.280 the trial court heard evidence
outside the presence of the jury and found that defendant had been priorly convicted of said felonies as charged. The trial
resulted in a verdict of guilty and the court fixed the punishment of defendant at imprisonment in the penitentiary for a
term of four years. Section 556.280(1). Defendant has duly appealed from the ensuing judgment and sentence. The sole point raised by defendant upon this appeal is that the evidence was not sufficient to support the verdict. In determining
the sufficiency of the evidence "we consider as true the evidence favorable to the State and the favorable inferences reasonably
to be drawn therefrom and disregard all evidence and inferences to the contrary." State v. Reece, Mo. Sup., 324 S.W.2d 656,
658.
