Description
John Henry Bement, appellant, was eighteen years old at all pertinent times related herein. He had completed the ninth grade but failed in two attempts to graduate from the tenth. His classwork in the first nine grades had been poor, with failure of a number of courses. He admitted to being ""a little slow in catching onto the subjects,"" and his maternal grandmother, who acted as his foster parent, testified that he was ""awful slow"" in school, and his intelligence was below average. In the summertime, he dug basements. After the habeas corpus hearing below, the trial court found ""He is of subnormal intelligence and inexperienced in and ignorant of court proceedings."" In early June 1965, while residing in his maternal grandmother's home in Boise, he drove with her to visit his other grandmother. At Hagerman Valley the car developed motor trouble. While waiting for it to be repaired, he and another youth borrowed a car and, while driving through Jerome, consumed some beer. Appellant was arrested for illegal consumption, a misdemeanor, and placed in the Jerome County Jail.
