Elm v. Mckee

The defendant was accused of the crime of armed robbery alleged to have been committed on February 19, 1955. He was represented by counsel appointed by the court, and pleaded not guilty. On a first trial, the jury was unable to reach a verdict. On the second trial a jury found him guilty as charged, fixing the degree as first degree robbery and finding that he was armed with a deadly weapon at the time of the robbery. His motion for a new trial and his application for probation were denied, and he was sentenced to imprisonment at San Quentin. He has appealed from the judgment and from the order denying his motion for a new trial.
