Nickol Carter v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Carter’s petition to correct an illegal sentence. It held that his challenges to sentencing departures, statutory procedures, and jury sentencing concerned the manner in which his sentences were imposed rather than facially illegal sentences, and that some claims were not preserved because they were not ruled on below. The court also held that Carter’s terms, including the suspended sentences, fell within the applicable statutory maximums for habitual offenders.
