Jessie E. Hill, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

Summary

The court denied Hill’s second petition seeking permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis concerning his Grant County capital-murder conviction. It held that the alleged fingerprint, hair, witness-note, and untested-biological-evidence claims did not establish suppressed, material, and prejudicial evidence that would have prevented the conviction, and that some evidence was known or available to the defense at trial. The court also denied Hill’s motion for audita querela because he failed to establish entitlement to comparable coram nobis relief.
