Description
On October 4, 1977, defendant Michael Ray Carter was convicted of the crime of murder in the second degree ( § 559.020 1) and thereafter was sentenced to life imprisonment in accordance with the jury verdict. Defendant appeals the judgment and sentence of the trial court. The amended information filed in the case alleged that defendant willfully, premeditatedly, and with malice aforethought killed Billy Joe Kralicek by beating him to death with a metal mop wringer. Defendant entered pleas of not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect to the charge. At the time of trial, defense counsel, in his opening statement, said that his defense was two-pronged, with the first defense being insufficient evidence by the state to show an intentional killing, and the second being that defendant, at the time of the killing, was suffering from a mental disease or defect excluding responsibility.
