Caldwell seeks mandamus to block five year robbery sentence
Vera Caldwell, a former Sioux Falls woman, again seeks to avoid a five year penitentiary term for assault with intent to commit robbery. Her move is a request to the South Dakota Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus ordering Circuit Judge W N Skinner of the third circuit to act.
Courts mull plea to suspend first-offender sentence
The 1931 law allowing judges to pend sentences for first offenders is under review as Mrs Callewell fights to suspend her Brookings 1928 sentence. Judge Skinner resisted the suspension, saying he lacked jurisdiction after the case was appealed and the conviction upheld by the Supreme Court. The court considers a writ of mandamus while the pardon was denied after the appeal failed.
