Supreme Court of Arkansas

Robert Heffernan, Appellant v. Wendy Kelley

October 27, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 299

Summary

The court dismissed Heffernan’s appeal from the denial of his habeas petition because he could not establish a basis for habeas relief or show probable cause that he was illegally detained. His claims concerning the verdict form and lesser-included-offense instructions alleged, at most, trial error rather than facial invalidity of the judgment or a jurisdictional defect. His pending motions were therefore moot.
