Description
Ronnie Leroy Heck appeals from an order denying his application for post-conviction relief. He asserts, first, that the court below erred in not allowing him to withdraw his plea of guilty to first degree burglary, which plea was allegedly entered under duress. Next, he submits that his plea should be set aside because there was no showing of a factual basis for his plea, when the plea was entered. Lastly, he argues that the court erred in not reducing his sentence in the post-conviction proceedings. We affirm the order denying post-conviction relief and refusing to reduce the sentence. An evidentiary hearing was held concerning Heck's application. The record discloses that on September 15, 1978, responding to a reported burglary in progress, members of the Twin Falls police department found Heck inside a music store building after the business had closed for the day. Heck was arrested for burglary and taken to the Twin Falls County jail. On October 27, 1978, he pled guilty to the burglary and two other pending charges. He was sentenced to an indeterminate term not to exceed fifteen years on the burglary charge. During the time between his arrest and his plea, Heck was removed from the county jail and incarcerated in the Twin Falls city jail as a result of a fire in his county cell on October 19, 1978.
