Description
1 The record reflects that petitioner is confined in the state penitentiary by virtue of a conviction in the District
Court of Logan County, for the crime of intent to rape, and that petitioner was sentenced to serve a term of six (6) years
in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary and at this date said sentence is not fully performed. The Court has before it the petition,
returns to the writ, and the judgment and sentence of the court. The petitioner contends that his plea of guilty in said cause
was obtained by threat and coercion and that he was not advised of his constitutional rights prior to pleading and was without
counsel. The records of this court reveal that the petitioner had heretofore filed such a writ upon the same facts and grounds
presented herein. The court ruled unfavorably to the petition in that case on the 7th day of May, 1957. 2 This court is consistent in the rule that it will not entertain subsequent writs upon the same grounds and facts
as related in prior application. Ex parte Davis, 74 Okl.Cr. 75, 123 P.2d 300; Ex parte Peaker, 87 Okl.Cr. 139, 194 P.2d 893.
