Supreme Court of Arkansas

Bannister v. State

February 6, 20142014 Ark. 59

Summary

The court denied Bannister’s motion for a belated appeal because the record showed that he could not prevail on appeal from the denial of his coram-nobis petition. The court held that his allegations of interrogation pressure did not establish the type of coercion cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings and that the alleged undisclosed evidence was either known to him or failed to establish prejudice. No separate opinions were filed.
