Mitchell v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s denial of Appellant’s pro se petition for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that Appellant failed to allege a basis for the circuit court to grant the writ.
Appellant was convicted of first-degree felony murder. The Supreme Court affirmed. After his first petition for a writ of habeas corpus was denied, Appellant filed a second pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus. In his petition, Appellant argued that he was entitled to habeas petition relief because he was convicted of a crime for which he had not been charged, and therefore, his conviction was invalid. The circuit court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant’s claim was one of trial error that did not impact the court’s subject matter jurisdiction or render his sentence facially invalid.
