Harkuf v. Kelley (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court denying and dismissing Appellant's petition for writ of habeas corpus filed pursuant to Ark. Code Ann. 16-112-101, holding that Appellant failed to establish that he was entitled to issuance of the writ.
Appellant was convicted of battery in the first degree and battery in the second degree and was sentenced to an aggregate term of 264 months' imprisonment. Appellant later filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus alleging that the trial court did not have jurisdiction over his criminal case. The circuit court denied and dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant's assertions did not implicate the facial validity of the trial court's judgment or its jurisdiction.
