87 S.W.3d 343; 2002 Mo. App. LEXIS 1718; 2002 WL 1899619
(South Western Reporter, Third Series)
Cogshell v. State
Opinion of the Court
ORDER
William H. Cogshell appeals from the denial of his Rule 29.15 motion for postcon-viction relief following an evidentiary hearing. Cogshell sought to have his convictions and sentences vacated for one count each of statutory sodomy in the first degree, § 566.062, RSMo 1994, and statutory sodomy in the second degree, § 566.064. This court finds that it was reasonable trial strategy for Cogshell’s trial counsel to stipulate that “oral sex” met the definition of deviate sexual intercourse. The judgment of the motion court is affirmed. Rule 84.16(b).
