Ben Grimes, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Grimes's habeas petition because he did not show that the judgment was facially invalid, that the trial court lacked jurisdiction, or that probable cause existed to believe he was illegally detained. A defect in an arrest warrant does not deprive a court of jurisdiction to try a criminal case, and no habeas hearing was required because Grimes submitted no supporting evidence establishing probable cause for issuance of the writ.
