Hussey v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of capital murder and aggravated robbery and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. The Supreme Court affirmed. Sixteen years after the judgment had been entered, Appellant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Act 1780 of 2001, asserting that he was actually innocent of the murder and seeking DNA testing of blood on an article of clothing. The trial court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant did not establish good cause for the lengthy delay in filing his petition and that Appellant’s claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was not properly before the Court.
