Description

James Clemons (hereinafter defendant) was charged in five separate counts with the first degree murder of Mary A. Kovanda, Theresa Kovanda, Randy Kovanda, Clarence McNeill and Ronald Henderson all in violation of Â§ 565.003 RSMo 1978 by causing them to die in perpetration of the felony of arson. The jury found the defendant guilty of four counts of first degree murder and one count of manslaughter in the death of Ronald Henderson. Defendant was sentenced to concurrent terms of life imprisonment on each of the four counts of first degree murder, Â§ 565.008(2) RSMo 1978, and to a consecutive term of five years imprisonment for the manslaughter conviction, Â§ 565.031 RSMo 1978. He appeals alleging the trial court erred in admitting photographs of the burned victims arguing that they were not necessary to prove any fact in issue, and in submitting a verdict-directing instruction for the manslaughter of Ronald Henderson.
