Wendell Rogers v. Wendy Kelley

Summary

The court reversed and remanded because the circuit court dismissed Rogers's mandamus petition without addressing his primary claim that the ADC applied a 2007 parole-eligibility amendment to a firearm-enhancement sentence imposed for an offense committed in 2005. The court directed the circuit court to determine whether the ADC improperly calculated parole eligibility for the separate fifteen-year enhancement, considering the law in effect when the offense was committed.
