Supreme Court of Arkansas

Vincent Hussey v. State of Arkansas

March 9, 20232023 Ark. 33

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Hussey’s petition to correct an illegal sentence. It held that his sentence was not facially illegal because Arkansas law authorized, but did not require, separate sentences for capital murder and the underlying aggravated robbery, and the sentence did not exceed the statutory maximum. Any challenge to the manner in which the sentence was imposed was untimely after nearly twenty-four years.
