State Nebraska v. Paul Allen Craig

Appellant Paul Allen Craig filed a motion to vacate or set aside a judgment and sentence in a criminal action in the district court for Cheyenne County, under the provisions of sections 29-3001 to 29-3004, R. S. Supp., 1965. The sole contention set forth in the appellant's motion was that he had been denied the equal protection of the law guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in that he was convicted and sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 10 years whereas one other person charged with the same offense was released and not prosecuted and another charged likewise was placed under probation for a period of 5 years.
