Wayne v. State
Annotate this CaseIn 1987, after a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of first-degree murder while committing criminal sexual conduct. Appellant was sentenced to life in prison. In 2014, Appellant brought a motion to correct his sentence. The postconviction court treated Appellant’s motion as a petition for postconviction relief and denied it because of Appellant’s failure to file it until after the two-year postconviction statute of limitations had expired. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the postconviction court did not abuse its discretion when it denied relief to Appellant on the grounds that the statute of limitations had expired.
