Borum v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant Anthony Borum pled guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced as a habitual offender to twenty years' imprisonment. Appellant subsequently filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in the Lee County circuit court, alleging that he was not accurately informed of the nature of the charge against him or of the minimum and maximum punishments for the offense. The circuit court denied Appellant's petition. The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal, holding that because Appellant did not file the petition in the county in which he was held in custody, the Lee County circuit court did not have jurisdiction over Appellant and could not issue a writ of habeas corpus that would be returnable to the court to effect Appellant's release.
