Sanders v. Straughn (Per Curiam)
Annotate this Case
Appellant was convicted on two counts of capital murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Appellant filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus setting forth a number of allegations or error. The circuit court dismissed the petition on the grounds that Appellant failed to establish probable cause for a writ of habeas corpus to issue. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) Appellant’s arguments concerning the validity of the charging instruments, intertwined with other arguments concerning trial error, failed; and (2) the remainder of Appellant’s arguments were not grounds for issuance of a writ of habeas corpus.
