Frank Franklin, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Franklin's petition to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction to consider a writ of error coram nobis and his related motion. It held that an alleged speedy-trial violation is trial error, not an extrinsic factual error cognizable in a coram-nobis proceeding. The court emphasized that coram nobis is limited to extraordinary circumstances and four recognized categories of fundamental error.
