Hooley v. Idaho
Annotate this CaseThomas Hooley appealed a district court’s summary dismissal of his petition for post-conviction relief. In 2014, Hooley was convicted of aiding and abetting aggravated battery and kidnapping in the first degree. Hooley petitioned for post-conviction relief in 2019, claiming: (1) he was actually innocent; and (2) the prosecution withheld favorable evidence. The district court concluded that Hooley’s actual innocence claim was time-barred and further concluded the claim failed on the merits. While the district court found that Hooley’s evidence claim was timely, the court ultimately determined the claim failed on the merits, and dismissed the petition without an evidentiary hearing. Finding no reversible error in the summary disposition, the Idaho Supreme Court affirmed the district court.
