Supreme Court of Arkansas

Sharvelt Mister v. Wendy Kelley

June 6, 2019575 S.W.3d 410

Summary

The court affirmed the dismissal of Mister’s habeas petition because his claims did not allege that the judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. It held that alleged defects in the arrest, criminal information, and search and seizure were nonjurisdictional trial errors that could not be litigated through habeas corpus. The court concluded that the circuit court did not clearly err in denying relief.
