Kenneth Slocum, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Slocum’s petition for permission to seek coram-nobis relief because he failed to show that the State withheld material evidence unknown to the defense. The alleged error concerning the victim’s date of death was apparent from evidence available before trial, and the claims concerning the State’s witness involved information known to defense counsel or presented at trial. Slocum therefore did not establish a fundamental extrinsic factual error or a constitutional disclosure violation.
