Supreme Court of Arkansas

Henington v. State

March 30, 20172017 Ark. 211

Summary

The court denied Henington's petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider a writ of error coram nobis. It held that his ineffective-assistance, trial-error, prosecutorial-misconduct, sufficiency, and judicial-bias allegations either were not cognizable in coram nobis proceedings or were inadequately supported. The court emphasized that coram nobis is an extraordinary remedy limited to fundamental errors of fact extrinsic to the record.
