Gravitt v. State
Gravitt v. State
Opinion of the Court
Edgar Russell Gravitt, hereinafter referred to as defendant, was charged, tried and convicted in the District Court of Oklahoma County for the crime of Burglary in the First Degree After Former Conviction of a Felony; he was sentenced to serve a term of 25 years imprisonment in the state pentitentiary, and appeals.
After carefully considering the record in the instant case, we are of the opinion that the giving of this instruction undoubtedly caused the jury to impose a greater punishment than would ordinarily have been imposed, and in the interest of justice, the judgment and sentence should be, and the same is hereby, modified from a term of 25 years imprisonment to a term of 15 years imprisonment in the state penitentiary, and as so modified, the judgment and sentence is affirmed. Modified and affirmed.
