Description
Anthony Leisure ("Anthony") appeals from his conviction, after a nine day jury trial, on one count of murder in the first degree, Section 565.001, RSMo 1978 (repealed 1984), in the death of James Anthony Michaels, Sr. Additionally, Anthony appeals the dismissal of his Rule 29.15 motion for post-conviction relief. We have consolidated Anthony's two appeals, pursuant to Rule 29.15(1). We affirm. 1 At the outset, we note that the victim was the head of an organized crime entity described as being composed of persons of Syrian or Lebanese ancestry. The State's theory of the case was that Anthony wanted to maintain control of Local 110 of the Laborer's International Union of North America ("Local 110") against incursions by victim and the "Italians", while taking over the leadership of the Syrian organized crime faction. The evidence adduced in the light most favorable to the verdict is as follows. In 1966, Anthony began working as a laborer for Local 110. He worked in this capacity until 1970, when he was appointed as a union organizer. In 1973 or 1974, Anthony became a business agent for Local 110. Though technically these were the job titles Anthony held, there is evidence that he was no more than a chauffeur and bodyguard for Raymond Massud ("Raymond"), the business manager at Local 110.
