State ex rel. Oliver v. Turner
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court granted the writ of habeas corpus sought by Tyrone Oliver and commanded Oliver’s immediate release from incarceration.
In 1993, Oliver was sentenced to an indeterminate prison sentence of eight to twenty-five years for involuntary manslaughter. The Bureau of Sentence Computation calculated his maximum-sentence release date as January 9, 2018. Oliver received parole release in July 2003. In February 2005 he pleaded guilty to a domestic violence charge and received a two year sentence. On January 26, 2018, Oliver filed this petition for writ of habeas corpus, arguing that he was entitled to immediate release. The Supreme Court agreed, holding that Oliver’s 2005 sentence for domestic violence was to be served concurrently with, not consecutively to, his 1993 sentence for involuntary manslaughter, and therefore, Oliver had served his maximum sentence and was entitled to immediate release.
