Description
Donald R. Holmes appeals from an order denying post-conviction relief. He had been convicted and sentenced, upon his plea of guilty to a charge of rape, to the custody of the state Board of Correction for an indeterminate period up to thirty years. Seeking to set aside his conviction and sentence, he applied to the district court for post-conviction relief under I.C. § 19-4902. After an evidentiary hearing, the court entered an order denying the relief sought in Holmes' application. We affirm the order of the district court. Holmes contends the district court erred because (1) the presentence investigation report, submitted at the time he was sentenced on the rape charge, was prejudicial; (2) the thirty-year sentence imposed was harsh and was an abuse of the sentencing court's discretion; (3) his plea of guilty was not voluntary; and (4) newly discovered evidence, i.e., a purported confession by another person, was not given proper weight by the court at the hearing for post-conviction relief.
