State v. Davis

Supreme Court of Nebraska
Oct 13, 1972
201 N.W.2d 258 (Neb. 1972)

Opinion

Nos. 38473, 38474.

Filed October 13, 1972.

Appeals from the district court for Hitchcock County: JACK HENDRIX, Judge. Affirmed.

Leon C. Hines and Brice F. Rueter, for appellant.

Clarence A. H. Meyer, Attorney General, and Chauncey C. Sheldon, for appellee.

Heard before WHITE, C.J., SPENCER, BOSLAUGH, SMITH, McCOWN, NEWTON, and CLINTON, JJ.


The defendant pleaded guilty to separate informations charging burglary and escape. He was sentenced to 2 years' imprisonment for the burglary and 2 to 3 years' imprisonment for the escape, the sentences to run consecutively. He appeals, claiming the sentences are excessive, his accomplice having received a 1-year sentence for the burglary.

The presentence report is not a part of the record in this court. The record does not show what sentence the accomplice received of any circumstances concerning him.

The statements of the county attorney, made in open court at the time of sentencing and which stand unchallenged, indicate that the defendant had a record of previous offenses, some felonies, dating back to at least 1968. When the defendant escaped from custody he again resorted to criminal conduct.

There is nothing in the record which would justify a reduction of the sentences imposed in these cases. The judgments are, therefore, affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
