Criminal Law. The action of the district court in imposing sentence and denying probation in a criminal prosecution will not be disturbed on appeal unless the record shows an abuse of discretion.
Appeal from the district court for Lancaster County: ELMER M. SCHEELE, Judge. Affirmed.
Merril R. Reller and Donald R. Hays, for appellant.
Clarence A. H. Meyer, Attorney General, and Homer G. Hamilton, for appellee.
Heard before WHITE, C.J., SPENCER, BOSLAUGH, BROWER, SMITH, and McCOWN, JJ., and MANASIL, District Judge.
Defendant, having keen convicted of assault with intent to commit rape, was sentenced to 2 years in the penal complex. He has appealed, contending that the district court erred in denying probation.
The evidence establishes that the contention of defendant is without merit. The action of the district court in imposing sentence and denying probation will not be disturbed on appeal unless the record shows an abuse of discretion. See, 29-2218, R.R.S. 1943; State v. Hylton, 175 Neb. 828, 124 N.W.2d 230. There was no abuse in the present case.
The judgment is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
