Description
On May 7, 1962, Leonard Lee Crego entered a plea of guilty to a charge of armed robbery and was sentenced to twenty-five years'
imprisonment. Upon the robbery charge he was represented by Mr. Roy Coyne to whom he claims to have paid a fee of $1500.00.
In this 27.26 proceeding, perhaps more accurately a 27.25 proceeding to withdraw a plea of guilty, instituted six years later,
September 3, 1968, the court took "judicial knowledge of the fact that Roy Coyne practiced law in this County for approximately
50 years, served several terms at different times as Prosecuting Attorney, was widely known as a yer who was a hard fighter
for his client and an able lawyer." Upon the hearing of his 27.26 proceeding he was represented, by court appointment, by
the equally well-known and respected Senator Frieze. Senator Frieze did not prepare his 27.26 motion, however. That was a
pro se motion and while the appellant employed the form supplied in the rule he did not carefully comply with its plain direction
but has included a long list of miscellaneous citations to federal cases and irrelevant statements with respect to constitutional
rights. Dates here are important, as stated, the plea of guilty was entered on May 7, 1962, before Honorable Ray Watson, the
motion to vacate was filed on August 28, 1969, and was heard on November 26, 1968, by Judge Watson who made his findings of
fact and denied the motion on December 12, 1968. As stated, on August 28, 1968 (the transcript in obvious error says "1969") Crego filed his pro se motion to vacate and material
here he made and swore to these allegations that his plea of guilty was involuntary and violative of due process for the following
reasons:
