Description
RABINOWITZ, Justice. OPINION In January of 1974, an indictment was returned against William Thomas Taylor charging him in separate counts with the offenses of robbery and use of a firearm during the commission of robbery. 1 Pursuant to a negotiated plea agreement, Taylor, on February 11, 1974, pled guilty to the charge of use of a firearm during the commission of robbery. On April 1, 1974, the superior court sentenced Taylor to serve a term of imprisonment of 10 years, the minimum statutory term. The sentence was made to run concurrently with a 2-year sentence imposed on Taylor in a probation revocation proceeding. 2 In February of 1976, Taylor, acting pro se, filed a motion to modify sentence and a motion to appoint counsel. 3 The motion to modify sentence was made pursuant to Rule 35(a), Rules of Criminal Procedure. 4 In support of the modification motion Taylor catalogued sentences which had been imposed in approximately 10 cases involving other defendants. The purpose of this showing was to demonstrate that the superior court's 10-year sentence in the case at bar was excessive. In further support of his motion to modify sentence, Taylor asserted that he . . . told attorney he wanted to appeal the sentence given him. Attorney failed to comply with defendant's wishes and constitutional rights of appeal. 5
