Supreme Court of Arkansas
Kenny Halfacre, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee
March 12, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 441
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Halfacre’s petition to correct allegedly illegal sentences. It held that the petition could be considered despite the trial court’s timeliness rationale because a facially illegal sentence may be challenged at any time, but Halfacre failed to show that either sentence exceeded the statutory range or was otherwise facially invalid. The court also held that challenges to the habitual-offender determination and any failure to amend the reduced judgment did not establish facial illegality.
