Supreme Court of Arkansas

Dennis Hutchinson, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

February 23, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 46

Summary

The court denied Hutchinson's application for permission to pursue coram nobis relief and consequently found his request for appointed counsel moot. It held that his incompetence claim did not identify a fundamental error of fact extrinsic to the record because his mental-health history was known at trial, his allegations were conclusory, and he did not act diligently after the conviction was affirmed.
