Wesson v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAppellant pleaded guilty to violating the terms of his previously imposed probation and was sentenced to a term of ninety-six months’ imprisonment. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, contending that his probation was revoked in an untimely proceeding, his counsel provided ineffective assistance in the revocation proceeding, his speedy trial rights were violated, and the trial court did not follow proper procedure in accepting his plea. The circuit court dismissed the petition, concluding that Appellant failed to state a ground on which a writ of habeas corpus could issue. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err in dismissing the petition, as the petition did not establish the facial invalidity of the judgment or demonstrate a lack of the trial court’s jurisdiction.
