Description
Petitioner James E. Wellman was found guilty of murder and of being a second-degree persistent felony offender in connection with the killing of his mother, Mary Rose. It was alleged and proved that on February 26, 1983, he stabbed his mother with a knife and that as a result of that stabbing she died May 13, 1983. The Kentucky jury found him guilty of murder as charged but mentally ill. His conviction was affirmed by the Kentucky Supreme Court in Wellman v. Commonwealth, 694 S.W.2d 696 (1985), although separate sentences for the two counts were found to have merged into one single sentence of life pursuant to KRS 532.080.
