Parties | Charles W. WILLIAMS v. STATE. |
Court | Alabama Court of Appeals |
Charles W. Williams, pro se.
Richmond M. Flowers, Atty. Gen., and Geo. D. Mentz, Asst. Atty. Gen., for the State.
Appellant, Charles W. Williams, who, according to his petition, is on parole from the Alabama State Penitentiary where he was incarcerated under a judgment of conviction by the Shelby County Circuit Court for the offense of first degree murder, maintains this appeal from a judgment from the Circuit Court of Talladega County denying his petition for a writ of habeas corpus to G. Preston Bryant, Parole Supervisor of the Huntsville, Alabama, Probation Office.
Habeas corpus is not a state court remedy available to a parolee in Alabama, who is not otherwise under detention.
