Harmon v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court denying Petitioner's petition to correct an illegal sentence, holding that Petitioner failed to establish either that his sentence was illegal on its face or, at the time of sentence, that the sentencing court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction.
Petitioner pleaded guilty to manslaughter and robbery and stipulated that he was a habitual offender. Petitioner was sentenced to sixty months in prison for manslaughter and 480 months for robbery, with his sentences to run consecutively. Petitioner later filed a petition for relief from an illegal sentence, which the circuit court denied. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant's sentence fell within the maximum prescribed sentence and was legal on its face and that the circuit court did not clearly err in denying Petitioner's petition on all grounds.
