445 P.2d 752 | Wyo. | 1968
Ruben Eliu Valerio was convicted by a jury of armed robbery and sentenced to the penitentiary. Some three months after his appeal from the conviction in which this court found there to have been no reversible error,
Appellant here contends that his rights were denied under the Sixth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments of the Constitution of the United States and Article 1, Section 10, Wyoming Constitution, and that his conviction resulted from such denials and improper administration of Wyoming Criminal Procedure, since the amendment
A review of the record discloses that the first information served on Valerio in the delineative portion stated, “did forcibly and feloniously take from Pete Junior Bonney the amount of $2,000.00 by putting in fear when a firearm was displayed in the commission of said $2,000.00.” This portion was altered in the amended information so that it read, “did forcibly and feloniously take from Pete Junior Bonney the amount of $2,000.00 by putting in fear when a firearm was displayed in the commission of said offense,” and later in the second amended information to read, “did forcibly and feloniously take from the person and possession of Pete Junior Bonney a sum of money in excess of $2,500.00, said sum of money being then and there the property of Barkalow Bros., Inc., by putting the said Pete Junior Bonney, an employee of said Barkalow Bros., Inc., in fear by display of a firearm in the commission of said offense.”
Appellant’s argument that under the provisions of the Constitution it was essential for him to have been served with and respond to the second amended information apparently stems from his claim that an information charging armed robbery must allege the ownership of the property taken. He misconceives the law on that aspect, the case upon which he relies having been overruled.
As to appellant’s contention that while he had been alone in a room and without the presence of his attorney had been identified by the prosecuting witness, no authorities or cogent argument is presented to show error.
The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
