Supreme Court of Arkansas
Michael Young v. Wendy Kelley
February 20, 20202020 Ark. 84
Summary
The court affirmed dismissal of Michael Young’s habeas petition because his claims of actual innocence, insufficient evidence, failure to prove an offense element, and ineffective assistance of counsel did not establish facial invalidity or lack of jurisdiction. Young also failed to show that the sentencing court lacked subject-matter or personal jurisdiction or that his detention was illegal. The court declined to expand the statutory grounds for habeas relief.
