Kindall v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseIn 1986, a jury found Appellant guilty of burglary, aggravated robbery, and rape. Appellant was sentenced to an aggregate term of life imprisonment and twenty years. The sentence was enhanced for committing aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and for using a firearm and a deadly weapon while committing rape. In 2013, Appellant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, arguing that the enhancement for use of a firearm is illegal, and therefore, the judgment-and-commitment order was facially invalid. The circuit court dismissed the petition with prejudice. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant’s sentence was not illegal, and therefore, Appellant did not establish a basis for a writ of habeas corpus to issue.
