Robert Joseph Moten, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Moten's substituted petition and amended petition seeking permission to pursue coram-nobis relief based on alleged suppression of evidence. It held that the alleged evidence, even if suppressed and otherwise material, would not have prevented the judgment because it concerned arrest legality, potential impeachment of nontrial witnesses, or an alternative-suspect theory already explored at trial. Moten therefore failed to show a meritorious proposed attack warranting reinvestment of jurisdiction in the trial court.
