Harry Walter McCutcheon v. Dr. George Beto, Director, Texas Department of Corrections

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Decided January 24, 1964No. 20997PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Per curiam

This is an appeal from an order denying a petition for writ of habeas corpus brought pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C.A. § 2254. McCutcheon was tried, and convicted of assault with intent to rob, with two prior felony convictions proved for enhancement. He was sentenced to life in prison.

McCutcheon asserts eight grounds for relief by writ of habeas corpus.
