Description

JOHN J. KELLY, JR., Judge Kurt Alan Perkins appeals from a jury conviction of first degree murder, § 565.020 RSMo 1986; armed criminal action, § 571.015 RSMo 1986; and stealing, § 570.030 RSMo 1986. He was sentenced for these offenses, respectively, to life imprisonment without possibility of parole, life imprisonment, and seven years imprisonment. The state's evidence showed that on June 9, 1985, the body of the victim, Harold Messler, 75, was found brutally beaten in his home located in St. Charles, Missouri. Mr. Messler died of ""multiple blunt force injuries."" The autopsy report showed that Mr. Messler's death was caused by a fracture to the skull, bruises and lacerations to the face, multiple wounds to the front of the neck severing the trachea and windpipe; fractures of several ribs; and a sharp cutting wound to the abdominal area. His throat had been cut and the tip of his left index finger was missing. Mr. Messler had also suffered bruises and lacerations to the back of his hands and arms which the pathologist described as defensive wounds, incurred when he used his hands and arms to deflect blows. The pathologist further testified that when he examined the victim's face, he found an impression in the skin which resulted from one of the impact wounds. The impression reflected the pattern of the object with which he was struck. The imprint on the victim's face resembled a diamond pattern on the sole of a cleated shoe. A piece of blood-covered mud was found at the scene of the crime beneath the body of the victim. This evidence was turned over to the crime lab for analysis. The analysis showed that the piece of mud came from a size 4 or 5 vibram sole hiking boot. Appellant owned a pair of red-stringed hiking boots which had a waffle sole that left an imprint similar to that found on the face of the victim. Mr. Messler owned a handgun which was missing following his murder.
