Kelley v. State

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Kelley’s habeas petition challenging his life sentence for rape and the alleged lack of notice of the habitual-offender enhancement. It held that Kelley failed to show facial invalidity or lack of jurisdiction, and that his sentence was within the permissible range for rape. The alleged notice and due-process defects constituted trial error or otherwise noncognizable claims in habeas proceedings.
