Sherman v. State

WALKER, Justice,

dissenting:

I must respectfully dissent from the holding of the majority. I cannot in good conscience lend validity to this statute, Mississippi Code Annotated section 97-21-33 (1972), which carries with it such a harsh penalty — up to fifteen years in the penitentiary — in the absence of proof that someone was defrauded or that there was some criminal intent to defraud.

COFER, J., joins this dissent.
