Marcus D. Evans, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Evans’s petition for permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis and denied his motion to subpoena evidence. It held that his allegations of suppressed identification evidence, falsified records, perjury, and actual innocence were conclusory and unsupported, and therefore did not establish a material and prejudicial Brady violation or another recognized basis for coram-nobis relief. The court also held that challenges to witness credibility and evidentiary sufficiency were not cognizable in a coram-nobis proceeding.
