Supreme Court of Arkansas

Holliday v. Hobbs

October 2, 20142014 Ark. 408

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Holliday’s habeas-corpus petition because he failed to show that the trial court lacked jurisdiction or that his judgment was facially invalid. His ineffective-assistance claim was not cognizable in habeas proceedings, and his challenges to trial error, evidence sufficiency, evidentiary admissibility, prosecutorial misconduct, and actual innocence could not be used to retry issues that belonged in direct appeal or timely postconviction proceedings.
