Supreme Court of Arkansas

Culbertson v. State

May 28, 20152015 Ark. 248

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Culbertson’s petition for a writ of error coram nobis without a hearing. It held that he failed to identify a hidden or unknown fact that would have prevented the court from accepting his guilty pleas, and his coercion and withheld-evidence claims were either legally insufficient or unsupported by specific facts. The court also declined to consider an insanity argument raised for the first time on appeal.
