Description
THE COURT. An information was filed charging defendant with the murder of Roscoe Edward Sutton in Lassen County on December 25, 1942. Defendant pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of insanity. After trial, the jury returned a verdict finding defendant guilty of murder in the first degree, without recommendation. Defendant then moved to withdraw the insanity plea. The trial court informed defendant that as a result of the verdict there was no alternative except to pronounce the death sentence if he withdrew his plea of insanity. Defendant and his counsel assured the court that they fully understood the effect of the verdict and in response to the courts inquiry stated that they still desired to withdraw the insanity plea. The motion to withdraw the plea was thereupon granted and defendant was sentenced to death. He orally announced this appeal from the judgment.
