John Irving Rawls v. Michelle Gray

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Rawls’s habeas petition, holding that his 300-month sentence for discharging a firearm from a vehicle was not illegal because the offense was properly treated as a Class Y felony and the sentence was within the authorized range. The court also held that habeas corpus was not the proper vehicle for challenging whether Rawls knowingly pleaded guilty to a Class Y felony.
