Description
Defendant appeals from convictions rendered in the Superior Court of Maricopa County on one count of first degree burglary in violation of A.R.S. çç 13-301 and 13-302, and on one count of first degree rape in violation of A.R.S. çç 13-611 and 13-614, as amended 1962. The court sentenced the defendant to serve a term of not less than one nor more than fifteen years in the Arizona State Prison on the burglary conviction, and not less than ten nor more than twenty years on the rape conviction, with the sentences to run concurrently. At 3:30 A.M. on April 28, 1966, the prosecutrix heard a noise at her window. When she went to discover what it was she saw the defendant climbing through the window. She screamed, there was a struggle, and she was knocked to the floor. Defendant grabbed her by the throat, placed his hand over her mouth, and told her that if she screamed again he would kill her. The noise awakened the young daughter of the prosecutrix who then began crying. Defendant told the mother to keep the child still or he would kill her also. Because of these threats of death both to her and her child the prosecutrix submitted to an act of sexual intercourse.
