Description
The defendant, Norvel R. McGreevey, was found guilty of assault in the first degree, assault in the second degree, and two
counts of armed criminal action, following a jury-waived trial. The Judge then sentenced him to two concurrent ten-year terms
for assault, and two concurrent three-year terms for armed criminal action. McGreevey was sentenced as a persistent offender
and as a class X offender under §§ 558.016.3, 558.019.4(3), RSMo 1986. McGreevey appeals, arguing three
points: 1) the court should have allowed an offer of proof that defendant suffered from a mental disease or defect at the
time of the offense, 2) the evidence was insufficient as a matter of law to establish first degree assault, and, 3) defendant
should not have been considered a class X offender. McGreevey appeals from a judgment of guilty, and therefore all facts in conformity with that judgment will be accepted by
this court, State v. Blair, 691 S.W.2d 259, 260 (Mo. banc 1985). Five firemen from the Independance, Missouri, Fire Department
responded to a emergency medical call originating from the defendant's home at two o'clock in the morning. When two firemen
arrived in a fire rescue van, they approached the house, but received no response. Three more firemen then arrived in the
pumper truck. Captain John Holman and George Turvill got out of the truck, while Martin McEldery remained in the driver's
seat. The firemen at the house yelled to Captain Holman, suggesting he check with the driver of a pick-up truck which was
now backing towards them.
