Ritter v. Hobbs

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Ritter’s declaratory-judgment petition challenging the calculation of his eligibility date for transfer to community-punishment placement. It held that the version of section 16-93-611 in effect when Ritter committed rape and kidnapping controlled and required service of seventy percent of his sentences before transfer eligibility. The court declined to consider his contrary statutory and due-process arguments because he offered no convincing argument or supporting authority.
