Harrison Melvin X. Pearison v. Howard Carlton, Warden

The petitioner, Harrison Melvin X. Pearison, was denied habeas corpus relief by the Johnson County Criminal Court from his 1997 conviction for aggravated arson and twenty-year sentence at 100 percent service. On appeal, he contends that the amended judgment with 100 percent service is void and that he is entitled to serve the sentence at thirty percent as originally imposed. Upon review, we hold that the trial court properly dismissed the petition and affirm its order dismissing the petition.
