People v. Harris
California Supreme Court
Appeal from a judgment of conviction, and an order denying a new trial in the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco. Freelon, J.
1Opinion of the Court
The Court:
The only question necessary for us to decide in this case relates to the number of peremptory challenges to which the defendant was entitled in the Court below. The prosecution was for robbery, and the information charged that the defendant had been previously convicted of a similar crime, as well as of the crimes of burglary and petit larceny. On the trial the defendant claimed that he was entitled under the Code *137to twenty peremptory challenges, but the Court held that he was entitled to only ten, and limited him to that number. In this ruling we think there was error.
