Clemmons v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this Case
Appellant was convicted of multiple counts of unlawful charge of a firearm from a vehicle and was sentenced to a term of imprisonment. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Act 1780 of 2001 (Act), alleging claims of (1) actual innocence; (2) failure of proof because a gun was not recovered; and (3) ineffective assistance of counsel, insufficient evidence, and due process violations. The trial court denied the motion. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant's appeal and declared the motions related to the appeal moot, holding that the claims raised by Appellant were not cognizable under the Act, and therefore, the trial court correctly determined that the relief Appellant sought fell outside the statute's scope.
