Description
Kenneth Florom pleaded guilty to an information which, it is contended by the People, charged him with obtaining money under false pretenses, and on July 29, 1947, was sentenced to a term of not less than three nor more than five years in the Colorado State Penitentiary, where he is now confined. On April 25, 1949, defendant filed, in the district court in which the sentence was pronounced, his petition for a writ of habeas corpus which was issued forthwith. The warden of the Colorado State Penitentiary filed his return to the writ April 28, 1949, and a hearing was held on May 6, 1949, at which time the Attorney Generals motion to quash the writ was denied. The court then proceeded to set aside, in effect, its sentence and judgment of July 29, 1947, and resentenced Kenneth Florom to a six months imprisonment in the county jail "on the plea of Guilty, entered on July 29, 1947, nunc pro tunc, and doth order that his confinement in the State Penitentiary of Colorado, for the first six months thereafter, be considered as having been a discharge of the sentence just imposed, and doth order that the defendant Kenneth Florom be released from the State Penitentiary of Colorado."
