Benjamin Carter, Jr., Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Carter’s petition for permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis. Carter did not substantiate his claim that the State induced a witness to testify falsely, and the alleged recantation alone was not cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings. Even assuming the affidavit were true, Carter failed to show a reasonable probability that disclosure would have changed the verdict or constituted a fundamental error requiring relief.
