Rayford v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The Supreme Court affirmed. Appellant sought relief in coram-nobis proceedings and in a habeas-corpus proceeding, without success. Appellant later filed this instant habeas-corpus proceeding, contending that the original judgment-and-commitment order was void and that the trial court did not have the authority after trial to amend the judgment-and-commitment order. The circuit court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err in denying the petition where Appellant failed to meet his burden of demonstrating a basis for a writ of habeas corpus to issue.
