Schaffer v. State

The appellant was tried before a jury and convicted of (1) breaking and entering a dwelling with intent to commit grand larceny, (2) grand larceny and (3) robbery. He was sentenced therefor to imprisonment for five years, fifteen years and twenty-five years respectively, to be served concurrently. The defendant filed a timely motion for a new trial on the ground of incompetent handling of his case by his privately employed attorney. On July 19, 1973, the trial court granted the motion and entered an order vacating the judgment and granting a new trial. The state did not appeal.
