Rayford v. Hobbs

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Rayford's habeas petition, holding that the amended judgment-and-commitment order properly classified capital murder as a Class Y felony for administrative purposes and did not alter his sentence. The original order remained enforceable, and the amendment was a permissible clerical correction rather than a jurisdictional defect. The court also declined to consider Rayford's notice argument because he raised it for the first time on appeal.
