Hannon v. State

by
After the Supreme Court overturned Petitioner’s first conviction on direct appeal, Petitioner was tried a second time and convicted of first-degree murder while committing or attempting to commit a kidnapping. Petitioner was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of release. The Supreme Court affirmed. This appeal concerned Petitioner’s third petition for postconviction relief in which Petitioner raised a variety of claims. The postconviction court summarily denied the claims as either meritless or untimely filed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the postconviction court did not abuse its discretion in summarily denying the petition, as one of Petitioner’s claims was meritless and the remaining claims were untimely filed.
