Supreme Court of Arkansas

Davis v. Kelley

March 30, 20172017 Ark. 210

Summary

The court affirmed denial of Davis's habeas petition because his Miranda-based claims alleged trial error rather than facial invalidity of the judgment or lack of jurisdiction. The aggravated-robbery sentence was within the statutory range, and the Pulaski County circuit court had subject-matter and personal jurisdiction. Because the petition stated no cognizable habeas ground, the circuit court properly denied it without a hearing.
