Description
Ray James Rennert was convicted by a jury of murder, first degree. His punishment was assessed at life imprisonment, and sentence and judgment were rendered accordingly. § 559.010, RSMo. 1969. (Appeal taken August 3, 1972; jurisdiction retained pursuant to order April 9, 1973.) Appellant does not question the sufficiency of evidence to sustain his conviction; and the evidence, including a confession in his own handwriting, would permit the jury reasonably to find: that on November 11, 1971, in Kansas City, Jackson County, Missouri, Ray James Rennert deliberately and premeditatedly killed Jeannie Mattia LaScalzo, a friend with whom he had been intimate and shooting drugs for three or four days, by strangling her with a stocking tied around her neck and double knotted in back, as charged in the indictment and submitted to the jury by Instruction No. 3. State v. Sturdivan, 497 S.W.2d 139 (Mo. 1973). Appellant charges that the court erred (I) in giving Instruction No. 10 on flight, asserting that it ""assumes that appellant avoided arrest by fleeing from police officers. It fails to submit whether appellant's explanation of his visit to St. Louis was truthful"" and (II) ""in receiving evidence that during the autopsy of the victim male spermatoza was found in her rectum, as it tended to prove a crime with which appellant was not charged.""
