Description

The plaintiff was sentenced on February 13, 1959,
by the Superior Court to imprisonment for not less
than nine nor more than thirty years after he had
pleaded guilty to twenty-six counts of statutory
burglary and to being a third offender.1 The
plaintiff instituted this action of habeas corpus
in December, 1966,2 and in his amended petition
he has alleged certain violations of his constitutional
rights. These include the following claims which are
material to this appeal: On and after his arrest on
December 11, 1958, he was denied the assistance of
counsel; he was not advised of his right to remain
silent; he was not warned that anything he said could
be used against him; a confession was obtained from
him under duress and coercion by the police; and he
was induced to plead guilty on February 13, 1959,
because of ill-advised instructions of counsel. The trial court, after a full hearing on the
merits, denied the plaintiff's application for a
writ of habeas corpus in a judgment rendered July
23, 1968. Thereafter, the trial court granted
statutory certification for an appeal to this
court pursuant to 52-470 of the General Statutes.
