U.S. Supreme Court LINDSEY v. STATE OF WASHINGTON, 301 U.S. 397 (1937)

[Page 301 U.S. 397, 402]

of petitioners to be deprived of all opportunity to receive a sentence which would give them freedom from custody and control prior to the expiration of the fifteen-year term.

Petitioners were wrongly sentenced under the act of 1935. Whether, in consequence of the invalidity of the later act, as applied to petitioners, they may be sentenced under the earlier, is a question for the state court.

The cause will be reversed and remanded for further proceedings, not inconsistent with this opinion.

Reversed.
