Description
In 1976 appellant Flowers pleaded guilty to a charge of assault with intent to kill with malice aforethought under § 559.180, RSMo 1969 and was sentenced to a term of twenty years. Later in 1976 Flowers filed two pro se motions, which were consolidated by the trial court and treated as a motion to vacate under rule 27.26. We will refer to this as the 1976 motion. These motions alleged police beatings, refusal to allow a telephone call or access to doctor or lawyer, and failure of appointed counsel to consult with him prior to trial. After a hearing, these motions were overruled, December 2, 1976. Flowers, pro se, filed a timely notice of appeal. He was given leave to proceed as a poor person and counsel was appointed to handle the appeal. However, nothing further was done on the appeal and in 1977 it was dismissed by the court of appeals, southern district.
