Supreme Court of Arkansas

Wayde Earl Stewart A/k/a Wade Earl Stewart, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

February 4, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 36

Summary

The court denied Stewart permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis because his allegations did not identify newly discovered, material facts outside the trial record that would have prevented the judgment. His Brady claim failed because the evidence described was known at trial, while his claims of incompetence, trial error, insufficient evidence, actual innocence, and ineffective assistance were either factually unsupported or not cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings. No separate opinions were filed.
