Description
This is an action under the Uniform Post-Conviction Procedure Act, I.C. § 19-4901 through § 19-4911, based primarily on the grounds that (1) appellant was not adequately and properly represented by counsel in one proceeding and (2) that his plea of guilty in another proceeding was involuntary because it was coerced. The pertinent facts are that on March 9, 1967 appellant was convicted by a jury of the crime of grand larceny after a trial in which he was represented by court-appointed counsel. While awaiting the judgment of the court and pronouncement of a sentence appellant escaped from the Cassia County jail on March 12, 1967. He later was apprehended in the State of Pennsylvania and on May 9, 1967 was returned to face the charge of escaping after having been convicted of a felony, and for sentencing on his grand larceny conviction. The latter was accomplished on May 15, 1967. A different attorney was appointed by the court to defend appellant on the escape charge, and on May 16, 1967 appellant was transferred to the Idaho State Penitentiary to begin serving his sentence on the grand larceny conviction.
