Court of Appeals of Kentucky May 20, 1966 (Watkins v. Wingo)

CULLEN, Commissioner.

Ernest Watkins appeals from a judgment of the Lyon Circuit Court dismissing his petition for a writ of habeas corpus by which he sought release from confinement in the state penitentiary.

Watkins was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1943. In 1965, on a motion filed by Watkins under RCr 11.42, the Perry Circuit Court entered an order setting aside the 1943 judgment.
