Eason v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Mark Eason pled guilty to a charge of sale of a controlled substance and was sentenced to sixty months' probation. Subsequently, the circuit court revoked Appellant's probation after concluding that Appellant had violated the conditions of his probation, basing its finding on the State's allegation that he had committed the offense of arson. The court of appeals affirmed. Appellant then filed a petition for postconviction relief, which the circuit court denied. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err in denying relief on the grounds that Appellant was subjected to malicious prosecution, was falsely imprisoned, and was denied due process as the allegations were not cognizable in a proceeding seeking relief pursuant to a postconviction petition.
