Kelley v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseIn 2008, Appellant was convicted of rape and sentenced to life imprisonment. Appellant later filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus, arguing that the sentence imposed was illegal because he was sentenced as a habitual offender without notice of the habitual-offender charge. The circuit court denied relief, concluding that Appellant failed to provide a meritorious ground for relief. The Supreme Court affirmed the order denying the habeas petition, holding that Appellant demonstrated no error in the circuit court’s holding that he did not provide in his petition meritorious grounds for the writ.
