Mosley v. State

HARRIS, Judge.

Appellant was put to trial upon a two-count indictment charging, (1) burglary in the first degree, and (2) rape. He was represented at arraignment and trial by counsel of his choice. He pleaded not guilty. The jury returned a verdict finding him guilty under count two of the indictment and fixed his punishment at fifteen years imprisonment in the penitentiary. After conviction, appellant was determined to be indigent, and he was furnished a free transcript. New counsel was appointed to represent him on appeal.

This is another interracial rape case. Cases of this type are coming…
