Supreme Court of Arkansas

Anarian Chad Jackson, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

July 21, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 232

Summary

The court dismissed Jackson's fourth petition seeking permission to pursue coram nobis relief based on alleged withholding of evidence concerning a prosecution witness's sentencing and an alleged agreement with the State. The court held that Jackson presented no fact distinguishing this petition from his prior petitions and had not established a basis for the extraordinary remedy. The repeated assertion of substantially the same claim constituted an abuse of the writ.
