¶1This is an Original Proceeding in which the petitioner, Jackie E. Madewell, #74166, seeks a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that he is illegally confined by virtue of a void judgment and sentence.
¶2Petitioner complains that the judgment and sentence entered in Kiowa County case #2436-C, is void for the reason that said District Court was without jurisdiction to try him. He alleges that the charge of Attempted Escape should have been lodged in Greer County where the Oklahoma State Reformatory is located.
¶3Petitioner was represented by court-appointed counsel, entered a plea of guilty, and was sentenced on November 7, 1962 to serve a sentence of One Year.
¶4Title 22, O.S.A. § 132, states:
“The jurisdiction of a prosecution for escaping from prison is in any county of the State.”
¶5This Court held in the case of Henson v. State, Okl.Cr.App., 317 P.2d 732:
“Right guaranteed by State Constitution to trial in another county where offense was committed relates to venue, rather than jurisdiction, and may be waived by failure to make objection at or before trial, preventing raising of question on appeal or in habeas corpus proceeding.”
¶6This would certainly be true where defendant enters a plea of guilty.
¶7The writ is, therefore, denied.
