Michael Eugene Rea v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Rea’s petition to correct an illegal sentence because he did not show that his sentences were illegal on their face. The alleged defects involving the special prosecutor, the charging information, and the verdict forms constituted nonjurisdictional trial errors or were contradicted by the record. The court held that the sentence-correction procedure could not be used to obtain relief on those claims.
