Philyaw v. State

Summary

The court denied Philyaw’s petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the circuit court for coram-nobis relief and denied his request for appointed counsel. It held that his claims concerning juror bias, judicial questioning, and ineffective assistance were outside the scope of coram-nobis relief, while his asserted nondisclosure claims did not establish a material suppression of favorable evidence or a fundamental error. The court also concluded that he failed to demonstrate the required due diligence in presenting his claims.
