    Topic: Post-conviction relief - Time bar

    Summary of the Facts: Edward Byrom pled guilty to conspiracy to commit capital murder, accessory before the fact of grand larceny, and accessory before the fact of burglary of a dwelling with intent to commit assault. Byrom was sentenced to twenty years, five years, and twenty-five years, respectively, with twenty years suspended and five years post-release supervision. He filed a motion for post-conviction relief which was denied. He appeals.

    Summary of Opinion Analysis: A post-conviction relief motion must be filed within three years after the entry of the judgment of the conviction. Byrom’s judgment was entered on June 21, 2001, and he did not file his post-conviction relief motion until November 14, 2006, well beyond the three-year limitation. Therefore, Byrom’s motion for post-conviction relief is time-barred.
