State ex rel. Kerr v. Turner
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's complaint for a writ of habeas corpus, holding that the court of appeals properly dismissed the complaint on the grounds that it failed to state a claim for habeas relief and was barred by res judicata.
Appellant was convicted of four counts of forgery and four counts of tampering with evidence. Appellant later filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus, which the court of appeals dismissed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) none of Appellant's challenges to his convictions was cognizable in habeas corpus; and (2) the court of appeals also correctly determined that Appellant's claims were barred by res judicata.
