Morris v. State

Summary

The Court affirmed the denial of Morris’s motion to correct an allegedly illegal sentence. It held that statutory forfeiture of good-time credits was not a sentencing term that had to be addressed during the guilty-plea colloquy, and that a predicate conviction need not be fully completed before it may support habitual-offender sentencing. The Court also noted that Morris’s four-month sentence was below the applicable statutory maximum and therefore legal.
