Supreme Court of Arkansas

Terrick Nooner v. State of Arkansas

February 1, 20242024 Ark. 7

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Nooner’s motion to correct an illegal sentence. It held that his speedy-trial argument challenged the manner in which the sentence was imposed, rather than the sentence’s facial legality, and was therefore subject to the applicable post-conviction filing deadline. The court also concluded that his life sentence was within the authorized maximum for aggravated robbery and was not facially illegal.
