William Zukowski v. Shawn Phillips, Warden

Syllabus

William Zukowski, Petitioner, filed a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, claiming the trial court lacked jurisdiction to pronounce judgment and sentence for his five convictions of rape of a child because (1) his consecutive sentences violated double jeopardy, (2) the indictment was deficient because the charges were multiplicitous, and (3) the trial court's failure to require an election violated his constitutional right to a unanimous jury verdict. The habeas corpus court found that Petitioner's claims were not cognizable habeas corpus claims and summarily dismissed the petition. We affirm the judgment of the habeas corpus court.

Judges: Judge Robert L. Holloway, Jr.
