Supreme Court of Arkansas

Nelson v. Norris

September 19, 20132013 Ark. 333

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Nelson's second habeas petition because he did not show that his conviction was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. It held that challenges to the admission of prior-conviction evidence, the admission of evidence allegedly obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment, and the sufficiency of the evidence are not cognizable in a habeas proceeding.
