Lamb v. State
Lamb v. State
Opinion of the Court
This is an original proceeding in which the petitioner, Rex R. Lamb, seeks his release from confinement in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary.
Petitioner is not entitled to repeated reviews of his conviction, and ha-beas corpus is not a substitute for appeal. We have repeatedly held that where the trial court had jurisdiction of the person, subject matter, and authority under law to impose the judgment and sentence, the habeas corpus will be denied.
In the instant case, the trial court had jurisdiction of the person, subject matter and authority under law to impose the judgment and sentence, and the writ prayed for is accordingly denied.
