State v. Hillerud

Appellant is under a life sentence for the crime of escape. After entry of his plea of guilty of the crime charged, the punishment therefor was enhanced pursuant to SDC 13.0611 — our habitual criminal statute. His assignments of error present two questions. He claims that the court erred to his prejudice in these respects:(1) That he was not advised as to his right to the assistance of counsel when arraigned on the information charging him with escape;(2) That he was not advised of his right to a jury trial when arraigned on the information accusing him of three previous felonious convictions.
