Robert J. Moten v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of habeas relief because Moten failed to show that his judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. His jury-trial right had been waived in writing and on the record with the required assent of the prosecutor and trial court, and the waiver procedure did not eliminate jurisdiction. The court did not address the abandoned declaratory-judgment claims.
