Billy v. Wilburn, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Billy Wilburn's petition for a writ of error coram nobis. It held that his claims concerning ineffective assistance, inadequate plea advice, and trial error were not cognizable in a coram-nobis proceeding, and that his conclusory competency claim did not establish a hidden or unknown fact warranting relief. The court also held that Wilburn failed to exercise due diligence by waiting seventeen years after his guilty plea to seek relief.
