Davis v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial in 1988, Appellant was convicted of capital murder. Appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole on the murder charge. In 2012, Appellant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus. The circuit court denied the petition, and the Supreme Court affirmed. In 2013, Appellant tendered another pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus in which he requested that he be permitted to proceed in forma pauperis in the habeas proceeding. The circuit court denied the petition on the merits and denied leave to proceed in forma pauperis. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant’s claims were not within the purview of a habeas proceeding.
