Smith v. State
District Court of Appeal of Florida
1Opinion of the CourtGross, C.J.
Abel Smith petitions this court for a writ of habeas corpus. He claims that he is illegally incarcerated and entitled to the same relief that this court granted to his co-defendant. Along with his sworn petition, Smith filed a copy of an order purporting to be from this court. The order is a fake. We deny Smith’s petition.
After a jury trial, Smith was convicted of robbery with a firearm, a crime he committed at a convenience store with the help of a co-defendant. His conviction was affirmed on direct appeal. Smith v. State, 948 So.2d 770 (Fla. 4th DCA 2007) (per curiam affirmance).
