Ex parte Nancy Gail Knight (Original)
Annotate this CaseApplicant Nancy Gail Knight sought the writ of habeas corpus, alleging there was no evidence to support (1) the trial court's entry of a cumulation order and (2) the imposition of attorney's fees in the bill of costs. As to the first ground, the Supreme Court concluded the cumulation order was supported by the evidence that the jury that convicted applicant of possession of a controlled substance made an affirmative finding that the offense occurred in a drug-free zone, which was included in the trial court's judgment. As to the second ground, the Court dismissed applicant's complaint that there was no evidence to support the imposition of attorney's fees because that claim was not cognizable on a writ of habeas corpus.
