Grissom v. Hobbs (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of one count of rape, one count of incest, four counts of sexual abuse, and thirteen counts of sexual assault. The court of appeals affirmed. While incarcerated, Appellant filed a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus, claiming that his judgment was invalid for several reasons. The circuit court dismissed the petition because Appellant failed to attach a copy of his judgment-and-commitment order and because some of his claims were not cognizable in a habeas proceeding. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant did not establish any cause to grant the writ of habeas corpus because he failed to show that his commitment was invalid on its face or that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction.
