Supreme Court of Arkansas

Chatmon v. State

August 3, 20172017 Ark. 229

Summary

The court denied Chatmon’s third petition seeking permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis, along with his amended petition and motion to respond. It held that his allegations concerning allegedly false testimony and undisclosed impeachment information did not establish a material suppression, a reasonable probability of a different outcome, or a fundamental error cognizable in coram nobis proceedings. The court also concluded that the petition essentially repeated grounds raised previously and bordered on abuse of the writ.
