Supreme Court of Arkansas

James Ray Thompson, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

November 30, 2017531 S.W.3d 393

Summary

The court denied Thompson’s petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court for coram nobis relief and denied his motion to reply. It held that the 911 recording was not suppressed or extrinsic to the record because it was played for the jury and admitted into evidence, and that Thompson failed to show a material, prejudicial disclosure violation. The court also rejected his claims concerning the absence of a transcript and the prosecutor’s closing argument.
