Description
CAYTON, Chief Judge. Appellant was convicted on charges of unlawful entry, of indecent assault upon a two year old girl, and of an assault upon the child's father. He charges that he was denied his constitutional right to be represented by counsel of his own choosing, to have effective aid of counsel in the preparation and trial of his case and to have witnesses present to testify in his behalf. He also charges he was prejudiced because the prosecution introduced evidence of his conviction of another crime without also introducing evidence that he had been pardoned therefor. On September 24, 1947, defendant was arraigned, pleaded not guilty, and demanded a jury trial on each charge. At that time he was represented by Attorney Thomas David. The trial date was set for November 14, 1947 at which time it was continued as the request of defendant's attorney until December 3, 1947. On that date the case was, at the government's request, continued to January 19, 1948. On January 19 the cases were continued because of the illness of the defendant until January 23, 1948.
