Cecal Bell v. State of Alabama

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Cecal Bell v. State of Alabama, 391 F.2d 286 (5th Cir. 1968)

Cecal Bell v. State of Alabama

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

This appeal has been taken from the district court’s denial of habeas corpus to an Alabama prisoner presently serving five sentences, which total twenty-five years, for five separate offenses of cattle theft.

Pursuant to this Court’s order of September 29, 1966, in Bell v. State of Alabama, 5 Cir. 1966, 367 F.2d 243, the district court held an evidentiary hearing on appellant’s contentions that a written confession had been coerced from him and that he had had ineffective assistance of counsel.

From a review of the record including the transcript of the evidentiary hearing, we conclude that the district court committed no reversible error in these findings. The judgment of the district court is

Affirmed.
