Supreme Court of Arkansas

Chestang v. State

November 13, 20142014 Ark. 477

Summary

The court denied Chestang’s request to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction to consider a writ of error coram nobis. It held that the probable-cause affidavit was available to the defense and therefore was not suppressed evidence supporting a Brady claim. The court also explained that claims challenging evidentiary sufficiency or witness credibility are not cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings.
