Hutcherson v. Payne (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court dismissing Appellant's pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, holding that the circuit court did not err in denying the petition.
Appellant was found guilty of, among other things, four counts of aggravated robbery and other convictions. Appellant was sentenced to an aggregate term of 240 years' imprisonment. In his writ of habeas corpus, Appellant argued, among other things, that incorrect dates rendered the judgment and commitment order illegal on its face. The circuit court dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant did not allege a cognizable claim and failed to demonstrate probable cause for issuance of the writ.
