Lewis v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a trial, Appellant was convicted of murder in the first degree and battery in the third degree. Appellant's conviction was affirmed on appeal. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, alleging that his due process rights were violated based on the constructive denial of counsel, judicial abuse of discretion, and prosecutorial misconduct. The circuit court dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that because Appellant failed to show either that the judgment of conviction was invalid on its face or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction, the circuit court properly determined that the writ should not issue.
