Holladay v. State
Holladay v. State
Opinion of the Court
The plaintiff in error Elzie Plolladay, defendant below, was charged by information in the district court of Bryan county, Oklahoma, in case No. 4058 with the crime of second degree burglary, in that it was alleged he broke into a Ford automobile and stole an overcoat of the value of $58, 1 blanket of the value of $7.50 and 1 pair of kidskin gloves at a value of $5, said crime alleged to have been committed in the aforesaid county, on or about the 18th day of January 1952. The plaintiff in error
It appears that this appeal was filed herein on August 18, 1953, and was set for oral argument for September 30, 1953, at which time no attorney appeared, and no briefs had been filed and the matter was submitted on the record. It further appears that no briefs have been filed since said submission of the case as of September 30, 1953. We have examined the informa-tions in said cases and find them sufficient, as well as the proceedings had in relation thereto. The matter of whether the defendant would be granted leave to withdraw his pleas of guilty and enter pleas of not guilty and stand trial, in both cases, was a matter within the sound judicial discretion of the trial court, finding no abuse thereof, in the record, its action will be upheld. Sanders v. State, 72 Okl.Cr. 85, 113 P.2d 198; Neville v. State, 72 Okl.Cr. 240, 114 P.2d 961. The judgment and sentence is free of prejudicial or fundamental error therein. For all of said reasons the judgment and sentence herein imposed is accordingly affirmed,

On Petition for Rehearing
On petition for rehearing and oral argument the same is denied; but the court is of the opinion that the sentences herein imposed are probably excessive, and the same are accordingly reduced in Cases No. 4058 and 4059 from three years to eighteen months. Since the original judgments provided that the sentences would run concurrently said eighteen months’ sentences will run concurrently. Harrison v. State, 54 Okl.Cr. 95, 14 P.2d 953; Jacobs v. State, 55 Okl.Cr. 28, 24 P.2d 295.
