Cedric Jones v. Brian Eller, Warden

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Cedric Jones, appeals the Criminal Court for Johnson County's summarydismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus relief. On appeal, he argues that thesentence and fines imposed against him were excessive, the trial judge and jurors shouldhave been disqualified, his prosecution was a violation of double jeopardy, the indictmentagainst him was defective, and the judgments were facially void. The State contends thatthe grounds raised are not cognizable under habeas corpus and that the indictment vestedthe trial court with jurisdiction to render its judgment. Based on our review, we affirm thehabeas corpus court's dismissal of the petition.
