Lee Charles Millsap, Jr. v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Millsap's petition and amended petition to correct an illegal sentence. It held that his life-without-parole sentence for capital murder was not facially illegal and that alleged defects in his guilty-plea paperwork and proceedings could not be addressed under the illegal-sentence statute. Such claims instead had to be brought, subject to applicable time limits, under the state's post-conviction procedure.
