Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Appellant, Gerald Lee, also known as Gerald El, was convicted
by a jury of the offenses of burglary in the second degree,
larceny of a television set in connection with the burglary and
of larceny of an automobile. Having a previous felony conviction,
he was sentenced to double the statutory penalty for each of the
offenses, and he has appealed. Appellant first complains of an adverse pretrial ruling. After
a preliminary examination in magistrate court binding him over
for trial in the district court, he filed, in the latter court,
his pro se application for writ of habeas corpus. He stated the
evidence offered at preliminary examination was insufficient to
hold him for trial; that he was wrongfully held because one
Vernon Towner, with whom appellant was jointly charged in the
commission of the three offenses, was in jail at the time the
preliminary examination was held and Towner's testimony would
have absolved appellant of any wrongdoing. The trial court denied
appellant's application.
