Darrough v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of possession of cocaine with intent to deliver and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver. The court of appeals affirmed. Appellant sought postconviction relief pursuant to Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1, without success. Thereafter, Appellant, who was incarcerated at a prison facility in Lee County, filed in the Drew County Circuit Court a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus pursuant to Act 1780 of 2001, alleging that there was scientific evidence to demonstrate that he was actually innocent of the offenses of which he was convicted and that his sentence was illegal. The trial court denied the petition. Supreme Court dismissed Appellant’s appeal on the basis that the habeas petition was filed in the wrong court.
