Johnson v. State

Opinion of the Court

MORROW, Presiding Judge.

Appellant is convicted of robbery; punishment fixed at confinement in the penitentiary for a period of twenty-five years.

The sentence is wrong in failing to take account of the Indeterminate Sentence Law. As it reads, it condemns appellant to confinement for *228 the “full period of twenty-five years.” It should read: “for a period of not less than five nor more than twenty-five years.” It is so amended.

We find neither statement of facts nor bills of exceptions, and discern no fundamental errors requiring a reversal.

The judgment is affirmed.

Affirmed & Reformed.
