Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Defendant was tried, convicted, and sentenced on two criminal charges of robbery in the first degree, and appeals. The undisputed facts are that the Cronin Liquor Store, located at 1527 Gabriel in the City of Parsons, was held up and robbed by an individual, armed with a revolver, on May 18, 1950, and again on August 23, 1950. Defendant was arrested and charged with commission of the robberies. In due course he was brought before a magistrate, given a preliminary examination and bound over to the district court. In the district court an information was filed against him charging him in two counts with robbery in the first degree. The record does not disclose but we are told, and therefore assume it to be the fact, that when the case came on for trial in the district court defendant, who was represented by counsel, waived formal arraignment and entered a plea of not guilty. In any event it shows that at that time counsel for both the state and the defendant announced that all parties were ready for trial. Thereafter a jury which had been empaneled and sworn to tried the cause, returned a verdict finding defendant guilty of robbery in the first degree as charged in the information and the trial court, after overruling a motion for new trial, sentenced him to the state penitentiary for the period of time prescribed by law for the commission of such crimes.
