Reexamination on order of the United States Supreme Court

PER CURIAM:

This case together with several others 1 was ordered reexamined in light of Albernaz v. United States, 450 U.S. ----, 101 S.Ct. 1137, 67 L.Ed.2d 275 (1981). Since all of the courts of appeals rulings were based upon our ruling in Sours v. State, 593 S.W.2d 208 (Mo. banc 1980) (Sours I) or Sours v. State, 603 S.W.2d 592 (Mo. banc 1980) (Sours II), those cases were all ordered transferred to this Court. Our examination of the double jeopardy issue made in light of Albernaz pursuant to the orders of the United States Supreme Court, appears in State v. Haggard, 619 S.W.2d 44 (Mo. banc 1981).

The original opinion filed by this Court, State v. Williams, 606 S.W.2d 777 (Mo.1980), is approved and affirmed and by reference made a part of this opinion. Sours v. State, 603 S.W.2d 592 (Mo. banc 1980) (Sours II ), cert. denied, Missouri v. Sours, --- U.S. ---, 101 S.Ct. 953, 67 L.Ed.2d 118 (1981); and State v. Haggard, 619 S.W.2d 44 (Mo. banc 1981).

Judgment affirmed as to Counts I and III; reversed as to Counts II and IV.

DONNELLY, C. J., and SEILER, WELLIVER, MORGAN, HIGGINS and BARDGETT, JJ., concur.

RENDLEN, J., concurs in part and dissents in part in separate opinion filed.

RENDLEN, Judge, concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I join the majority in its affirmance of appellant's convictions for two counts of robbery in the first degree. However, I dissent to that portion of the majority opinion reversing appellant's convictions for armed criminal action for the same reasons set forth in my dissenting opinion in State v. Haggard, 619 S.W.2d 44, decided this date.
