Decision Date | 20 November 1968 |
Docket Number | No. 7420,7420 |
Parties | Willie Perry JACKSON, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee. |
Court | Florida District Court of Appeals |
Harry Lee, Sebring, for appellant.
Earl Faircloth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Robert R. Crittenden, Asst. Atty. Gen., Lakeland, for appellee.
Appellant has filed this appeal from a final order of the trial court denying his amended Motion to Vacate Judgment and Sentence under Florida Criminal Rules of Procedure 1.850, formerly Rule 1, 33 F.S.A.
The appellant, defendant below, was indicted by the grand jury of Highlands County on September 28, 1965, for murder in the first degree.
On August 30, 1965, two attorneys were appointed by the court to represent the defendant and on November 5, 1965, he was arraigned and plead not guilty by reason of insanity. On November 8, 1965, the court ordered psychiatric examination of the defendant and the reports showed he was sane at the time of the commission of the purported crime, and that he could assist his counsel in the defense of the charges lodged against him.
On January 28, 1966, the defendant was tried and after the State rested its case the defendant moved for a directed verdict on the ground that the State had failed to prove that the death of the decedent was caused by the bullet wounds inflicted by the defendant, which motion was denied by the court.
Counsel for the defendant asked permission of the court to withdraw his plea of not guilty and to enter his plea of guilty with request for mercy.
Counsel representing the State said:
'Your Honor, in view of that request, of entering a plea of guilty, the State will not object to the Court accepting that plea, and on the basis that he get a life sentence.
