In re Lee
Petitioner Curtis Lee seeks a writ of habeas corpus to compel his release from prison. Petitioner alleges that the Governor improperly reversed his grant of parole by the Board of Parole Hearings (the Board). The Governor based his decision on the gravity of petitioners crime. Because the Governors conclusion that petitioners offense was an especially grave second degree murder is unsupported by some evidence in the record, Court grant the petition for writ of habeas corpus. But Court not order petitioners release. Instead, we remand this case to the Board for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
