Jabari Issa Mandela a/k/a John H. Wooden v. Howard Carlton, Warden

Petitioner, Jabari Issa Mandella, also known as John H. Wooden, sought habeas corpus relief from his sentences for second-degree burglary, aggravated rape, aggravated assault, and aggravated sexual battery. The petition alleged that the consecutive sentences imposed by the trial court were in direct contravention of statute and that the trial court failed to state specific reasons for the imposition of consecutive sentencing, rendering the judgments against him void. The habeas corpus court determined that nothing in the petition would support a finding that Petitioner’s convictions were void or that his sentence had expired. On appeal, Petitioner challenges the judgment of the habeas corpus court. After a review of the denial of habeas corpus relief, we affirm the judgment of the habeas corpus court.
