Tommie Lee Page, aka Tommie Page, aka Tommy Page v. Mississippi
DueProcess Securities JusticiabilityDoctri
Whether the Mississippi habitual offender amendment to Page's indictment was illegal and void due to procedural defects and whether Page was improperly found to have committed a prior crime of violence
1) Whether the Mississippi habitual offender amendment to Page's indictment was illegal and void since the motion to amend Page's indictment WaS not filed until after the date in which the court had firmly set as the deadline for motions and where such amendment which effected Page's sentence, Was never approved by the grand jury which returned the indictment.. Thus, the sentence is excessive and illegal since it exceeds the amount Page could be sentenced to without the habitual amendment; and 2) Whether Tommy Page has been improperly and illegally found to have committed a prior crime of violence since on the date Page:was sentenced, and found to be in such violation, Mississippi had no statute identifying crimes of violence and did not create and establish such law until 2014. See MississippiHB: 585 (2014); Miss. Code Arm. Sec. 97-3-2 (2014). 2.
