Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that the judgment in McConnell was deemed facially void because the defendant was sentenced under the 1982 Act and the forty percent release eligibility status did not exist under the 1989 Act
• upholding aggravated robbery sentence, despite sentence length falling in range above petitioner’s range classification
• a petitioner is not entitled to habeas relief on issues regarding an offender’s range classification because the issue is non-jurisdictional and is a proper basis for plea negotiations
