Jeffrey Wendell Edwards, Appellant v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Edwards’s habeas petition because his double-jeopardy and lesser-included-offense claims did not show that the judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. It also affirmed designation of the petition as a statutory strike because the petition failed to state a claim for habeas relief. Justice Womack, concurring in part and dissenting in part, and Justice Baker, dissenting, would have rejected the strike designation as unconstitutional.
