Raymond David Leach v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Leach's habeas petition because none of his claims established that the commitment order was facially invalid or that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction. Claims challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, competency, mental illness, mitigation evidence, and counsel's effectiveness were outside the permissible scope of habeas review. The circuit court therefore did not clearly err in denying relief.
