Hill v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment. Defendant subsequently filed a petition for postconviction relief, which was denied. Thereafter, Defendant filed a successive petition to correct an illegal sentence, arguing that his sentence was illegal because the State was allowed to amend the information to charge him with first-degree murder by premeditation and deliberation. The trial court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court did not err in denying Defendant's petition, as the sentenced imposed was within the sentencing range for the offense of first-degree murder.
