Supreme Court of Arkansas
Serandon Starling v. Wendy Kelley
February 4, 2021615 S.W.3d 386
Summary
The court affirmed the denial of Starling's habeas petition because he did not demonstrate that his judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked jurisdiction. His double-jeopardy challenge was not cognizable in habeas proceedings, and the murder and terroristic-act convictions involved offenses with different required elements. The court also concluded that the life sentence for the Class Y terroristic act did not exceed the applicable maximum.
