Brian Roberson v. Howard Carlton, Warden

Case Number
E2006-01551-CCA-R3-HC

The petitioner, Brian Roberson, appeals the Johnson County Criminal Court’s denial of his petition for habeas corpus relief from his guilty pleas to two counts of selling cocaine and one count of possession of cocaine. He contends that his judgments of conviction are void because his sentences are illegal. Upon review of the record and the parties’ briefs, we reverse the judgment of the habeas corpus court and remand this case to the Johnson County Criminal Court for the appointment of counsel and an evidentiary hearing.
