Supreme Court of Arkansas

Anthony Walker, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

April 9, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 267

Summary

The court held that the circuit court lacked authority to make a 300-month suspended imposition of sentence consecutive to a 300-month term of imprisonment imposed for a different offense. Because that sentencing arrangement rendered the judgment facially illegal, the court reversed the denial of habeas relief and remanded for resentencing. The court rejected the appellant's remaining claims because they were conclusory and did not show jurisdictional or facial-invalidity grounds for habeas relief.
