Love v. Kelley
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant’s appeal from the denial of his petition for habeas corpus relief challenging the guilty plea that he entered in 1995, holding that there was no ground stated in the petition on which a writ of habeas corpus could be issued.
In 1995, Appellant pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. Appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment. In his habeas petition, Appellant argued that the writ should issue because, at the time he entered the plea, he understood that he would be sentenced to thirty-two years in prison. The circuit court dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court also dismissed the petition, holding that Appellant’s allegations should have been brought in a timely petition for postconviction relief under Ark. R. Crim. P. 37.1.
