Description

The above matter came on for hearing on Petition and supplements for a Writ of Habeas Corpus, Chief Justice COMPTON, Mr. Justice CARMODY and Mr. Justice CHAVEZ sitting. Petitioner had been charged in an information on two counts with the crime of breaking and entering (N.M.S.A., 1953, 40-9-6), and had entered pleas of guilty in open court being represented by counsel. The judgment found that he was guilty of "burglary" on both counts. He was sentenced to imprisonment in the State Penitentiary on each count for a term of one to three years, that prescribed by Sec. 40-9-6, to run consecutively. Petitioner urged that the sentences were void since he pleaded guilty to breaking and entering and the judgment found him guilty of "burglary". The penalty prescribed for burglary (N.M.S.A., 1953, 40-9-1) is three to fifteen years imprisonment.
