George L. Morgan v. David Sexton, Warden, et al

The petitioner, George L. Morgan, appeals the Johnson County Criminal Court’s summary dismissal of his petition for writ of habeas corpus, arguing that the court should have held an evidentiary hearing to consider his claim that his dual convictions and consecutive sentences for second degree murder and attempted aggravated robbery are illegal and void because they violate double jeopardy principles. Because the petitioner has failed to state a cognizable claim for habeas corpus relief, we affirm the summary dismissal of the petition pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
