Gary fuller/akbar v. Dexter Payne

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Fuller/Akbar’s habeas petition because he did not show that the judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked subject-matter or personal jurisdiction. The court held that the murder statute was validly enacted, the record established service of an arrest warrant, and the nunc pro tunc judgment properly recorded the verdict and sentence. Challenges to the arrest warrant and information constituted trial errors rather than jurisdictional defects and therefore did not support habeas relief.
