Pease v. Huffman
Wise & Norton County Circuit Court
1Opinion of the Court
By Judge John C. Kilgore
This matter is before the Court upon the Petition of Merry Christine Pease, Inmate No. 329841, for a writ of habeas corpus, alleging that she is being unlawfully detained due to being denied a constitutionally fair trial.
