Smith v. State

McKUSICK, Chief Justice.

In 1978, after a jury trial in Superior Court, Washington County, the present petitioner Harry Smith, Jr., was convicted of three counts of receiving stolen property and one of cheating by false pretenses. Smith is now on parole from the resulting concurrent sentences of two-to-four years at Maine State Prison. In this post-conviction proceeding commenced by Smith in May, 1980, the single justice of the Supreme Judicial Court assigned to hear the case denied his petition for habeas corpus and he has taken a timely appeal. We affirm the decision of the habeas justice.
