Lowe v. Walton
Lowe v. Walton
Opinion of the Court
Appellant was arrested and charged with four separate offenses. The committing magistrate bound him over on all charges fixing his bond in the aggregate amount of $100,000. Appellant filed a petition for habeas corpus in the court of ordinary contending that the bond was excessive. Thereafter, the district attorney, on behalf of the Sheriff of Hancock County, filed a complaint seeking to enjoin Lowe and his attorney from further prosecuting the habeas corpus proceeding. The superior court granted the injunction and the appeal here is from the judgment. The appellee has filed in this court a motion to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the same is moot. That motion is supported by the affidavit of the district attorney. It shows that the charges against Lowe were submitted to the grand jury which returned a no bill as to one of the charges and true bills as to the other three; that he was subsequently tried on the three charges on which he was indicted and acquitted of one of those charges and found guilty as to the remaining two; and that he has received misdemeanor sentences of 12 months and 6 months to be served consecutively with respect to those convictions. That
Appeal dismissed.
