Ekstrand v. State

1 On December 12, 1989, the petitioner, Hugo Darwin Ekstrand, filed an application for this Court to assume jurisdiction and issue a writ of habeas corpus in Tulsa County District Court Case No. CRF-87-728. Petitioner has alleged that 57 O.S.Supp. 1988 ? 138 [57-138] is an ex post facto law as applied to him in that it computes earned time credits in such a way as to allow him fewer credits than he was given under the previous statute, thereby lengthening his sentence. On December 20, 1989, this Court directed a response from the Respondents. On January 29, 1990, the Respondents filed their response.
