Willie Hutcherson v. Dexter Payne

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Hutcherson’s habeas petition because clerical errors concerning the dates of the offenses did not make the judgment facially invalid, and the record did not show that his sentences exceeded the statutory maximum or the aggregate sentence imposed. The court also held that the circuit court properly acted before requiring a return or conducting a hearing because Hutcherson failed to show probable cause for issuance of the writ. His judicial-bias argument was not preserved because he did not raise it below. His motion to expedite was moot.
