Hodges v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseIn 1994, Defendant pled guilty to attempted rape and to violation of a minor. Defendant committed the offenses in 1992 or 1993. Defendant was sentenced to concurrent terms of twenty years' imprisonment for the attempted rape charge. In 2010, Defendant filed a pro se petition to correct an illegal sentence, arguing that his twenty-year sentence amounted to an ex-post-facto violation because the court applied the transfer-eligibility statute, which became effective in 1994, to his sentence. Specifically, Defendant alleged that the parole-eligibility statute in effect at the time of the commission of the crime should be applied to his sentence. The circuit court denied Defendant's petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because Appellant's petition was untimely, the circuit court did not err in denying the petition.
