Description
JOHN C. HOLSTEIN, Chief Judge On July 28, 1986, appellant Jim Edward Ryan (movant) entered a plea of guilty to the Class A felony of assault in the first degree. § 565.050. 1 He was sentenced to fifteen years in the Missouri Department of Corrections. See § 558.011. As part of an agreement with the State, two other companion charges, first degree robbery and felony stealing, were dismissed. On August 3, 1987, movant filed a motion pursuant to Rule 27.26. 2 Following a hearing on the motion, the court found that his plea of guilty had been entered knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily. The motion pursuant to Rule 27.26 was thereafter denied. On appeal, movant claims that the evidence at his motion hearing established that he suffered from drug addiction and other health problems which combined with dangerous and inhumane conditions existing in the jail, rendered his plea of guilty involuntary. See Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969). Movant claims the motion court's findings to the contrary were erroneous.
