State v. Revis

Supreme Court of North Carolina
State v. Revis, 267 N.C. 255 (N.C. 1966)
147 S.E.2d 892; 1966 N.C. LEXIS 1024
Moore

State v. Revis

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

An examination of the bill of indictment discloses that it does not properly charge a felonious escape because it nowhere refers to “previous conviction of escape from the State Prison System” which is one of the elements necessary under G.S. 148-45. However, it will support a charge of an escape, a misdemeanor. The Attorney General is well advised in conceding as much. The cause will be remanded to the Superior Court of Montgomery County for proper judgment upon a plea of guilty of escape, a misdemeanor. The defendant is entitled to credit for any time he may have served upon the invalid judgment.

Error and remanded.

Moore, J., not sitting.
