Description
In 1961, Jimmy Foster was indicted in the Criminal District Court of Dallas County, Texas, on one charge of robbery by firearms
and two charges of robbery by assault. Foster pleaded not guilty to the charge of robbery by firearms. The jury found him
guilty and sentenced him to thirty-five years imprisonment in the state penitentiary. Foster then pleaded guilty to the two
charges of robbery by assault. The court sentenced him to fifty-years imprisonment on each charge. All three sentences were
to run concurrently. Foster did not appeal from these convictions and sentences. In 1967, Foster applied for a writ of habeas corpus in the Criminal District Court of Dallas County, Texas. The court held
a plenary hearing and entered findings of fact and conclusions of law denying Foster's application. The Court of Criminal
Appeals of Texas affirmed the Criminal District Court's decision without written opinion. The district court below denied
Foster's application for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that he had received a fair hearing in the state court and that
the state court's findings were supported by the record.
