Description

Defendant was jury-convicted of the felony of possessing more than 35 grams of marihuana. § 195.020. 1 The jury assessed punishment at imprisonment for a term of five years. § 195.200.1(1)(b). Judgment was accordingly entered and defendant appealed. Brent Short had been employed as a mechanic at a West Plains garage ""right after the first"" of 1983. From the time of his employment until April 22, 1983, the garage employees had been working on a Renault said to be owned by Jollie Smith, a brother of defendant. On April 22 Short had driven the car to his home to put mileage on the vehicle so the head gasket could be ""retorqued."" Short's employer called with instruction to drive the Renault to the garage so it could be test driven. After Short arrived at the garage, Jollie got into the driver's seat with Short in the front passenger seat. Just as they were leaving, defendant ran from the garage stating ""that he was going too."" However, before the test drive got underway, defendant left the Renault and went to the car in which the Smith brothers had arrived for the announced purpose of getting ""the goody box."" When defendant and the ""goody box"" (described as a ""metal candy can"") were ensconced in the Renault's back seat, the trio proceeded in the Renault towards the Thayer-Koshkonong area. While en route to that destination, defendant poked Short in the ribs with what was assumed to be a gun and told Short to ""Get out."" As Jollie slowed the speed of the Renault and pulled onto the highway's shoulder, Short ""kicked the door open and rolled out of the vehicle."" Jollie and defendant ""took off down the highway.""
