Opinion

File No. 10000.

Opinion filed April 2, 1963

1. Criminal Law.

In absence of judgment on verdict rendered on one count, no reviewable questions with reference to that offense were properly presented.

2. Automobiles.

Evidence sustained convictions for driving while under influence of intoxicating liquor and for reckless driving.

Gale B. Wyman, Belle Fourche, for Defendant and Appellant.

A.C. Miller, Atty. Gen., D.J. McClure, Asst. Atty. Gen., Pierre, Larry M. Hamblin, State's Atty., Belle Fourche, for Plaintiff and Respondent.

Appeal from Circuit Court, Butte County; Hon. Clarence P. Cooper, Judge.

The defendant was convicted of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor and reckless driving, and he appeals.

Affirmed.


The sufficiency of the evidence to sustain conviction of (1) driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, (2) reckless driving, and (3) operating a motor vehicle without a driver's license, is the sole question urged by defendant on this appeal.

[1, 2] Sentence was deferred by the trial court and no judgment entered on the verdict rendered under Count 3, therefore no reviewable questions with reference to that offense are properly before us. We have, however, carefully reviewed the evidence with respect to Counts 1 and 2 and find the same amply sustain the judgments of conviction rendered thereon and they are accordingly affirmed.
