State v. Houston

386 S.W.3d 888, 2012 Mo. App. LEXIS 1493, 2012 WL 5921721

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM.

The defendant, Damon Houston, appeals the judgment entered by the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis following his conviction by the court of one count of forcible rape, in violation of section 566.080 RSMo. (Supp.2011), one count of attempted forcible sodomy, in violation of section 566.060, and one count of victim tampering, in violation of section 575.270.2.¹ The trial court sentenced the defendant as a persistent sexual offender to two terms of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the forcible rape and attempted forcible sodomy and to three years of imprisonment for the victim tampering, all sentences to run concurrently. Finding no error, we affirm.

An opinion would have no precedential value. The parties have been provided with a memorandum, for their information only, setting forth the reasons for this decision.

We affirm the trial court’s judgment. Rule 30.25(b).
