Albert D. Bell, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Bell’s petition to correct his sentences because his two life sentences were within the statutory range and therefore were not facially illegal. It also held that his Eighth Amendment arguments concerning juvenile sentencing and accomplice liability did not establish a jurisdictional sentencing defect, while his remaining trial and constitutional claims were not cognizable in this type of proceeding. The motion for leave to file a belated reply brief was moot.
