Davis v. State

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Davis’s habeas-corpus petition because none of his claims established that the conviction was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction. Claims concerning ineffective assistance, suppression, identification evidence, trial error, and delayed receipt of the amended judgment were not cognizable in habeas proceedings. The court held that the amended judgment merely removed convictions already set aside and did not unlawfully alter the capital-murder conviction after execution.
