Brian Jordan, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Jordan’s request to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court for a coram-nobis proceeding. It held that his allegations did not establish that the State withheld material evidence unknown or unavailable at trial, and that his claims instead challenged the credibility and sufficiency of the evidence. The court also concluded that the alleged recantation and related misconduct claims either were previously litigated or did not satisfy the stringent requirements for coram-nobis relief.
