Opinion
No. 35965
Decided June 17, 1959.
Habeas corpus — Not available to review errors in conduct of trial — Adequate remedy afforded by appeal.
IN HABEAS CORPUS.
The petitioner has invoked the original jurisdiction of this court by a petition in habeas corpus to obtain his release from incarceration in the Ohio Penitentiary where he is serving a sentence based on a judgment of conviction on a plea of guilty to an indictment charging forgery and uttering a forged check.
Mr. William H. Chapman, in propria persona. Mr. Mark McElroy, attorney general, and Mr. William M. Vance, for respondent.
The trial court had jurisdiction of the person of the petitioner and of the offenses with which he was charged and to which he pleaded guilty. Petitioner had an adequate remedy by way of appeal from the judgment of conviction to review the alleged errors of which he complains and cannot now have such a review by a proceeding in habeas corpus.
Petitioner remanded to custody.
