Description

A jury convicted Paul Stepter of first degree murder of Beverly Payton, § 565.020, RSMo 1986 1, and first degree
assault of William Jackson, § 565.050. The trial court sentenced Stepter as a prior offender to consecutive sentences
of life imprisonment without parole and thirty years. Stepter timely filed a motion for post-conviction relief pursuant to
Rule 29.15. Following an evidentiary hearing, the trial court denied Stepter's Rule 29.15 motion. The Missouri Court of Appeals,
Eastern District, affirmed the convictions and the denial of Stepter's Rule 29.15 motion and remanded for resentencing. This
Court granted transfer to consider Stepter's claim of trial court error in refusing to submit to the jury a lesser included
offense instruction of second degree murder. The conviction of first degree murder is reversed and remanded for new trial.
The conviction of first degree assault is affirmed but remanded for resentencing. The denial of Stepter's Rule 29.15 motion
is affirmed as it applies to the conviction of first degree assault. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence at trial established that William Jackson and his girlfriend,
Beverly Payton, resided in a downstairs unit of a four family flat at 2343 University Avenue in the City of St. Louis, Missouri.
On April 16, 1986, a group gathered in the Jackson/Payton apartment with Jackson and Payton: Richard Caldwell, an upstairs
neighbor; Minnie, Caldwell's girlfriend; Stepter; Marsha Fraction, former girlfriend of Jackson and mother of Jackson's three
children; Ronald Scott; and Gina G.
