Jackson v. State
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the decision of the postconviction court denying Appellant's petition for postconviction relief without holding an evidentiary hearing, holding that the petition was untimely.
Defendant was convicted of first-degree premeditated murder. The conviction was affirmed on appeal. After unsuccessfully filing a petition for postconviction relief Defendant filed this instant petition for postconviction relief alleging several claims of ineffective assistance of counsel during his trial and direct appeal. The postconviction court denied the claims without an evidentiary hearing, ruling that Defendant's claims were time-barred under the two-year statute of limitations. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the petition was properly denied because it was filed more than two years after the disposition of Appellant's direct appeal and because the facts alleged in the petition would not have satisfied any exception to the applicable statute of limitations.
