Supreme Court of Georgia May 7, 2018, S18A0012 (Ricks v. State)

HUNSTEIN, Justice.

Ashleigh Ricks appeals the denial of her 2017 motion for an out-of-time appeal from her guilty plea conviction for felony murder in Baldwin County, and we vacate, concluding that the trial court was without jurisdiction to decide the motion.

In May 2012, Ricks pled guilty to felony murder and received a life sentence.
