Supreme Court of Arkansas

Tereginald Wallace, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

November 17, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 327

Summary

The court dismissed Wallace’s third petition seeking to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction to consider coram-nobis relief. It held that the petition repeated claims previously rejected, and that the newly submitted affidavit neither alleged suppressed information nor materially distinguished the prior claims. The court also reiterated that challenges to evidentiary sufficiency, actual innocence, witness credibility, and ordinary trial errors are not cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings.
