Clark v. People
| Decision Date | 06 October 1880 |
| Citation | 6 N.W. 682,44 Mich. 308 |
| Court | Michigan Supreme Court |
| Parties | CLARK v. PEOPLE. |
Information--failure to have examination.
Error to the superior court of Grand Rapids.
Gibson & Parkinson, for plaintiff.
Otto Kirchner, Att'y Gen., for the people.
This case comes clearly within Edwards v. The People, 39 Mich. 760. The information was sworn to December 26, 1878, and on the same day the respondent was arraigned, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced, and there is nothing in the record showing, or from which it can be inferred, that any examination, such as the act of 1875 contemplates, was had. The judgment must therefore be reversed, and the prisoner discharged.
(The other justices concurred.)
