State ex rel. Barnette v. Hill
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals dismissing Appellant's petition for a writ of habeas corpus against the warden of the Marion Correctional Institution, holding that there was no error or abuse of discretion.
Appellant was convicted of four counts of aggravated murder and sentenced to two consecutive terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole for the murders. Appellant later filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus alleging errors in the grand jury process that led to his indictment. The court of appeals dismissed the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed and denied Appellant's motion for an order compelling the Mahoning County Clerk of Courts to submit the complete record of his underlying criminal case for consideration on appeal, holding that the court of appeals properly dismissed Appellant's petition for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
