Supreme Court of Arkansas

Delarron Keith Washington v. State of Arkansas

September 11, 2014439 S.W.3d 686

Summary

The court denied Washington's second petition seeking to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction to pursue coram-nobis relief. It held that ineffective-assistance claims, challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence, and the asserted attorney-license problems did not fall within the narrow scope of coram-nobis proceedings, and that recall of the direct-appeal mandate was unavailable because Washington did not show an error in the appellate process.
