Description
The defendant, Randall A. Ward, pleaded guilty to the crime of robbery and was given the minimum sentence by the District Court of 3 years in the Nebraska Penal and Correctional Complex. The sole contention on this appeal is that the sentence was excessive and that the defendant should have received probation. We affirm the judgment and sentence of the District Court. The thrust of the contention of the defendant is that he should be granted probation because of his age (19), because he is a first-offender (felony), and because he and his partner Genelle Ward, returned the fruits of the robbery after its commission. The undisputed and admitted facts before the trial Judge at the time of the sentencing are as follows: The crime in which the defendant participated was robbery at gun point. It was perpetrated against a lone filling station operator after midnight. Something around $600 was procured. The robbery had been planned for approximately a week. A 22-caliber pistol was bought for the purpose of committing the robbery. The scene of the robbery was surveyed and the robbery planned in detail, according to the handwritten admissions of the defendant and his partner, Genelle. The record reveals that in accomplishing the armed robbery they committed the offense of kidnapping, section 28-417, R. S. Supp., 1972. After using the gun and completing the robbery they forced the filling station attendant to drive them to a waiting automobile some distance from the scene of the crime.
