Description
Defendant-appellant Charles Kahale Hassard, Jr. was first indicted on April 4, 1960, for carnal abuse of a female under twelve. R.L.H. 1955, § 309-20. Upon objection that defendant's wife was called to testify before the grand jury, a nolle prosequi was filed. On June 9, 1960, the defendant was reindicted for the same offense. On June 22, 1960, defendant filed a "Motion to Discharge and Dismiss Defendant" averring that he had not been taken before a qualified magistrate for examination within forty-eight hours from and after his arrest. The motion was denied. On June 29, 1960, defendant filed a "Motion to Quash and Dismiss Indictment," claiming that the second indictment returned by the same grand jury was invalid because his wife had previously testified before the grand jury which returned the first indictment. The motion was denied. On September 12, 1960, a jury trial began, which resulted in a mistrial. On September 23, 1960, defendant made an oral motion for mental examination. The motion was denied. On September 26, 1960, the second jury trial commenced, resulting in a conviction from which this appeal is taken.
