State Ex Rel. George v. Bomar

This is a petition for the writ of habeas corpus filed in the Davidson County Criminal Court, Division I, by George on November 14,1963, in which he seeks a release from the penitentiary .upon the allegation he is being illegally held there under a void judgment rendered by the Criminal Court of Washington County in May 1960 convicting him of armed robbery and sentencing him to twenty years in the penitentiary.

The petition alleges he plead guilty to the charge of armed robbery and the Attorney General did not insist upon the death penalty.

Evidently, he did not seek an appeal from the verdict…
