Michael S. Griffis, Appellant v. Ray Hobbs

Summary

The court affirmed the dismissal of Griffis’s habeas petition because he did not show that the trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction or that his judgment was facially invalid. The court held that his challenges concerning the arrest, evidence, prosecutorial and judicial conduct, pretrial detention, speedy trial, counsel, and guilty plea were claims of trial or post-conviction error outside the scope of habeas relief. The court also held that the judgment correctly reflected convictions for attempted capital murder.
