Description
David Grays, appellant, appeals his jury convictions in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County of three counts of selling a controlled substance, Section 195.020 R.S.Mo. 1986. The trial court sentenced appellant, as a persistent offender, to consecutive terms of ten years imprisonment on Count I, five years imprisonment on Count II, and five years imprisonment on Count III. Appellant also appeals the denial of his post-conviction relief (Rule 29.15) motion. On appeal, appellant contends the trial court erred in: 1) granting the state's motion to strike the testimony of defense witness, Raymond Whitlock, and ordering the jury to disregard his testimony; and 2) granting the state's motion in limine prohibiting defense counsel from making any reference to Whitlock's testimony wherein he invoked his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. Appellant argues that such rulings were violative of his fifth, sixth, and fourteenth amendment rights to a fair trial by an impartial jury. Additionally, appellant contends the trial court clearly erred in denying appellant's post- conviction relief motion because the record leaves a firm impression that appellant was denied due process of law and effective assistance of counsel. We affirm.
