Pond v. State

The appellant was charged, by way of three separate indictments, with the kidnapping of one Paul Dryburg, the kidnapping of one Carol Griffey, and the rape of said Carol Griffey. The record discloses a plea of not guilty to each charge, waiver of trial by jury, and a trial to the court of the three charges at the same time. On February 28, 1950, the appellant was found guilty by the court and sentenced to life imprisonment on each of the kidnapping charges. He was also found guilty of assault with intent to rape and was sentenced to imprisonment for one to ten years.
