Majors v. State
Annotate this CaseWhile serving an eighteen to thirty-six-month sentence, Defendant escaped and kidnapped an elderly woman. Defendant entered a no contest plea to a kidnapping charge and a guilty plea to an escape charge. The district court sentenced Defendant to terms of years for both convictions, to run consecutive to each other and concurrent to his original sentence. The Supreme Court affirmed. Defendant later filed a pro se motion to correct an illegal sentence, requesting credit for time served between his arrest and his sentencing. The district court denied the motion. Defendant then filed a pro se motion seeking credit for 1,280 days, which was the same relief he sought in his motion to correct an illegal sentence. The court denied the motion. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that res judicata prevented the Court’s review of the issue raised by Defendant.
