Supreme Court of Arkansas

Bean v. State

April 2, 20152015 Ark. 136

Summary

The court denied the petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court for coram-nobis relief and denied the petition for certiorari to supplement the record. It held that ineffective-assistance and trial-error claims are outside coram-nobis proceedings, and that the double-jeopardy claim had already been resolved adversely and otherwise alleged only trial error. The requested record supplementation was denied because it was intended to support claims that lacked a legally cognizable basis.
