People v. Helbing
California Supreme Court
People v. Helbing, 59 Cal. 567 (Cal. 1881)
People v. Helbing
Opinion of the Court
The defendant pleaded not guilty and former acquittal. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, but did not find upon the plea of former acquittal. There must be a verdict upon that as upon the plea of not guilty, before there can be a judgment of conviction. (People v. Kinsey, 51 Cal. 279.)
The indictment is not for a misdemeanor, but for a felony, viz., an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to inflict great bodily injury; therefore the one-year bar does not apply to it.
Judgment and order reversed and cause remanded for a new trial.
