RENDLEN, Judge,
dissenting.
Appellant was convicted of two counts of forcible rape and one count of forcible sodomy, all perpetrated in one disgusting attack upon his stepdaughter. Pursuant to § 558.026.1, RSMo 1986, the trial court assessed one life sentence and two consecutive fifteen-year sentences.
For the reasons set forth in my dissent in Williams v. State, 800 S.W.2d 739,1 would hold the sentences were properly assessed consecutively according to the provisions of § 558.026.1, hence the conviction and sentence should be affirmed in all respects.
