Description
This appeal is from a judgment granting habeas corpus to Conley, a State prisoner convicted of felony theft, and having been twice previously convicted of felonies, under mandatory life sentence as an habitual criminal as provided by Article 63 of the Vernon's Ann.Texas Penal Code.1 Conley's trial and conviction in the State court took place on July 22, 1964, just one month after the Supreme Court's decision in Escobedo v. Illinois, 1964, 378 U.S. 478, 84 S. Ct. 1758, 12 L. Ed. 2d 977, but long before Miranda v. Arizona, 1966, 384 U.S. 436, 86 S. Ct. 1602, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694. Conley filed a petition for habeas corpus in the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas which was denied without written opinion on May 23, 1966.
