Elvis Aaron Thacker, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed the denial of Thacker's petition for a writ of error coram nobis. It held that the undisclosed videos were not material to his defenses, that his coerced-plea allegations were either noncognizable, unsupported, or untimely, and that his actual-innocence claim was not preserved because the circuit court had not ruled on it. Justice Hart, joined by Justice Danielson, dissented, concluding that the undisclosed Taser video was material to self-defense and that a hearing was required.
