Ferrell v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. The Supreme Court affirmed. Appellant later filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Act 1780 of 2001, alleging that he was entitled to DNA, blood-type, and ballistic testing of items discovered during the investigation of the crime and introduced into evidence at trial. The trial court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s denial of Appellant’s petition, as Appellant failed to rebut the presumption against timeliness, and none of the other claims raised by Appellant were grounds for relief under Act 1780.
