Bendaw v. State

OPINION

DICE, Judge.

The conviction is for robbery; the punishment, twelve years.

Trial was before a jury, upon appellant’s plea of guilty.

At the trial the injured party testified that on the date alleged the appellant did by assault and violence take from his person and possession and without his consent the sum of $47 in money.

Appellant, as a witness in his own behalf, admitted having committed the robbery but swore that he only took $5 in money from the injured party.

Appellant also gave testimony in support of his application for probation, which the jury refused to recommend in their verdict.
