Pennington v. Kelley (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseThe Supreme Court dismissed the appeal of an order denying Appellant’s pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, holding that Appellant failed to establish probable cause for issuance of the writ and, in any event, failed to state a cognizable claim for habeas relief. Appellant, who was convicted of first-degree murder and other crimes in three separate cases, alleged in his petition that his sentences were facially invalid and that he was actually innocent for the crimes for which he had been convicted, among other claims. The Court held that the circuit court’s order denying habeas relief was not clearly erroneous.
