Court Denies Lifer's Appeal in 1943 Habitual Sentence
The Supreme Court refused an appeal by Harry Dye, a Roane County prisoner serving a life term since 1943. Dye argues he was wrongly sentenced as habitual criminal after pleading guilty in 1933 to two breaking and entering charges. The Roane circuit court altered the penalty from five years to life, and Dye says he was not present for that change. A three-judge majority denied relief. Judge Jo N. Kenna would have granted it.
