Description
Paul Albert Wood, Jr., was convicted by a jury in 1975 of murder in the first degree, ร§ 559.010, RSMo 1969, and sentenced to life imprisonment. The court of appeals reversed the conviction for error in admission of a confession, and remanded the cause for a new trial. State v. Wood, 559 S.W.2d 268 (Mo.App. 1977). He was again convicted by a jury in 1978 of murder in the first degree and his punishment was fixed at life imprisonment. Judgment was entered accordingly. Upon direct appeal to this Court he advances arguments in five categories: (1) reversal based on an improperly admitted confession as a bar to retrial; (2) use of the original information for the second trial; (3) sufficiency of evidence to support conviction and venue; (4) admissibility of statements made by defendant to witnesses Marts and Becker after the first trial and while in jail, a note containing defendants address and phone number, and photographs of the victims body; and (5) States argument regarding defendants failure to produce certain witnesses. Affirmed.
