Akbar v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant was convicted of first-degree murder and aggravated assault and sentenced to an aggregate term of life imprisonment. Petitioner subsequently filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, alleging that the trial court lacked jurisdiction to sentence him because the amended felony information charging him incorrectly changed the nature and degree of one of the charged crimes. The circuit court denied the order. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because Appellant did not establish a basis for holding that the judgment was invalid on its face or that the trial court was without jurisdiction, Appellant's allegation of error was not cognizable in a proceeding for the writ.
