Miller v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant Alexander Miller pleaded guilty to intentional second-degree murder of Crystal Lindorff by an Alford plea on March 11, 2005. Appellant's conviction was not reviewed on direct appeal. On May 11, 2009, Appellant filed this petition for postconviction relief. The postconviction court denied Appellant's petition, concluding that it was untimely and meritless. The court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the postconviction court properly dismissed Appellant's postconviction petition, as (1) because Appellant filed the petition over two years after his claim arose, the petition was untimely; and (2) the time limits were constitutionally applied to Appellant's petition.
