Description
Robert Tedford is endeavoring to obtain his release from imprisonment as an habitual criminal upon the general grounds that, at the time of his plea of guilty to the charge of assault with a deadly weapon and sentence thereon, he was denied due process and the equal protection of the laws. More specifically, by the allegations of his petition, upon which this court issued a writ of habeas corpus, he asserts that he was held to answer without sufficient or probable cause; that he was "wrongfully permitted to waive his preliminary examination without benefit of counsel"; that he was deprived of his right to have legal assistance; that he was denied the right to be tried by a jury; that he was physically and mentally unable to comprehend the nature of the proceedings; that no crime was ever proved; and that, as to his prior convictions, they are not a sufficient basis for the judgment that he is an habitual criminal.
