State v. Grady
State v. Grady
Opinion of the Court
Lloyd Thomas Grady (defendant) was charged in a criminal complaint with burglary, degree not specified, and grand theft. He waived his preliminary hearing upon the basis of a plea bargain to plead guilty to burglary in the second degree and to attempted grand theft.
The plea bargain was honored and in addition two more Superior Court criminal charges were dismissed. He was adjudged guilty and sentenced to concurrent terms with credit for his presentence confinement.
The defendant appealed and was represented by the Public Defender who filed an Anders brief and was given leave to withdraw. The record was sent to the defendant with leave of the Court to supplement the brief. The defendant did not do so.
The State’s answering brief was sent to the Public Defender and inquiry by this Court confirms that the Public Defender sent the answering brief to the defendant. He filed no reply.
