State ex rel. Williams v. Hunter
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of a number of offenses, including two counts of aggravated murder with capital specifications. Appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment. Appellant subsequently filed several post-trial motions, including motions for resentencing and a new trial, to no avail. Thereafter, Appellant filed a petition for a writ of procedendo to order the judge of the county court of common pleas to resentence him and to issue a final, appealable sentencing order in his criminal case. The court of appeals dismissed the motion on the basis of res judicata. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant was not entitled to a writ of procedendo because he raised these same issues before and had an adequate remedy by way of appeal in previous cases.
