Lisle v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of first-degree murder with the use of a deadly weapon. Appellant was sentenced to death. Appellant filed a post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus that was untimely and successive. The district court dismissed the petition as procedurally barred. The Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s order dismissing the petition, holding that Appellant was not entitled to a writ of habeas corpus where (1) Appellant failed to demonstrate good cause to excuse his procedurally barred post-conviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus; and (2) Appellant failed to demonstrate that he was actually innocent of either the crime or the death penalty.
