Reexamination on order of the United States Supreme Court
This case together with several others was ordered reexamined in light of Albernaz v. United States, 450 U.S. 333, 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 No. 62227), decided July 14, 1981.

White, 610 S.W.2d 646 (Mo.App. 1980); State v. (Johnny) Williams, 610 S.W.2d 644 (Mo.App. 1980), all of which were vacated and remanded to the Court of Appeals, Eastern District, in Missouri v. Counselman, ___ U.S. ___, 101 S.Ct. 1690, 68 L.Ed.2d 190 (1981). See Brown v. State, 607 S.W.2d 801 (Mo.App. 1980); State v. Collins, 607 S.W.2d 781 (Mo.App. 1980); State v.

Martin, 610 S.W.2d 18 (Mo.App. 1980), all of which were vacated and remanded to the Court of Appeals, Western District, in Missouri v. Brown, ___ U.S. ___, 101 S.Ct. 1735, 68 L.Ed.2d 222 (1981). See State v. Sinclair, 606 S.W.2d 271 (Mo.App. 1980), vacated and remanded to the Court of Appeals, Southern District, in Missouri v. Sinclair, ____ U.S. ___, 101 S.Ct. 3044, 69 L.Ed.2d 415 (1981). See State v. Lowery, 608 S.W.2d 445 (Mo.App. 1980), vacated and remanded to the Court of Appeals, Eastern District, in Missouri v. Lowery, ___ U.S. ___, 101 S.Ct. 3044, 69 L.Ed.2d 415 (1981).

Tunstall, 607 S.W.2d 809 (Mo.App. 1980), all of which were vacated and remanded to the Court of Appeals, Eastern District in Missouri v. Crews, ___ U.S. ___, 101 S.Ct. 3103, 69 L.Ed.2d 968 (1981). In all of the above cases where an application for transfer to this Court was requested, all such applications were denied.
See State v. (Donald) Greer, 605 S.W.2d 93 (Mo. 1980); State v. Kendrick, 606 S.W.2d 643 (Mo. 1980); and State v. (Rollan Anthony) Williams, 606 S.W.2d 777 (Mo. 1980), all of which were vacated and remanded to this Court in Missouri v. Greer, ___ U.S. ___, 101 S.Ct. 3000, 69 L.Ed.2d 385 (1981).
The original opinion filed by this Court, State v. Greer, 605 S.W.2d 93 (Mo. 1980), is approved and affirmed and by reference made a part of this opinion. Sours v.

That part of the judgment pertaining to second degree murder is affirmed; that part pertaining to armed criminal action is reversed and the sentence vacated.
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.
I join the majority in its affirmance of appellant's conviction for murder in the second degree. However, I dissent to that portion of the majority opinion reversing appellant's conviction 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.
