Description

Defendant was charged by a two count information with murder in the second degree (Sec. 559.020, RSMo 1969) and robbery in
the first degree by means of a dangerous and deadly weapon (Sec. 560.120, RSMo 1969 and Sec. 560.135, RSMo Supp. 1975). A
jury found him guilty of both offenses and his punishment as to each was fixed at life imprisonment. The trial court ordered
the life sentences to run concurrently. Two points of error are presented by defendant on appeal: (1) Error on the part of the trial court in overruling defendant's
motion to quash the jury panel because the automatic exemption given women from jury service resulted in a panel which was
not representative of a cross-section of society, all in violation of the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States; and (2) error on the part of the trial court in admitting into evidence, at the state's behest, a .38 caliber revolver
and a .38 caliber cartridge which were wholly unrelated to any of the offenses for which defendant was standing trial, and
in permitting the state to make repeated references thereto during closing argument.
