In addition, the crime of larceny committed by the defendant, most of the larceny committed by the defendant, which was committed by intrusion into a room at night or in the new wall time, and the defendant was committed on September 6, 191, and there was no past record that the defendant was subject to a suspended sentence of imprisonment for three years due to the crime of intrusion on the building and the injury caused by rape, and there was no past record of a sex offense against the defendant.
