The defendant did not request that he be again tried for sanity, and cannot be heard to complain on appeal that he was insane at the time of the trial. In People v.

It is also alleged that petitioner pleaded guilty in reliance on the previous promise of the judge of the district court that if the plea were entered he would impose a sentence of only five years imprisonment.
