Briana Marquise Matthews v. State of Alabama (Appeal from St. Clair Circuit Court: CC-21-204; Criminal Appeals…

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court dismissed the criminal‑action appeal because the trial court lacked subject‑matter jurisdiction to consider a post‑sentencing petition filed in a criminal case, and affirmed the civil‑action appeal, holding that Matthews was not eligible for relief from the ASORCNA because her custodial‑sexual‑misconduct conviction is not listed in the statute’s eligibility list and the petition was filed outside the permitted timing.
