Jackson v. Bishop

Per Curiam.

Petitioner William Jackson was convicted of burglary in the Jefferson Circuit Court and on March 9, 1964 was sentenced to five years in the State Penitentiary. He was a pauper and represented by court appointed counsel. Petitioner prayed an appeal from said conviction, which appeal was denied by the trial court and petitioner now proceeds under Criminal Rule No. 1 of this court.

We now grant said appeal from the burglary conviction and direct that a complete record of all the proceedings and evidence in the burglary trial be filed in this court within a reasonable time and without cost to the petitioner; and we appoint Honorable E. Harley Cox, Jr. to represent petitioner on this appeal. The petitioner’s bond for release pending disposition of said, appeal is hereby fixed at $2,500.00 with sureties to be approved by the clerk of this court.
