Samuel Love v. Dexter Payne

Summary

The court affirmed the denial and dismissal of Samuel Love's habeas petition because he did not allege that his sentence was facially illegal or that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction. The court held that his challenges to the guilty-plea proceedings, charging instrument, evidence sufficiency, grand-jury indictment, and alleged double-jeopardy violation were not cognizable in habeas proceedings. The court also concluded that the circuit court did not clearly err in denying relief.
