Supreme Court of Arkansas

Rickey C. Strain, Jr., Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

March 16, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 76

Summary

The court denied Strain’s pro se petition seeking to recall the mandate so that he could pursue coram nobis relief. It held that his challenges to witness inconsistencies, evidentiary sufficiency, accomplice liability, trial rulings, and alleged withholding of evidence did not establish a cognizable coram nobis claim. The court further concluded that Strain failed to allege a Brady violation because he attributed the withholding to the trial court rather than the prosecution.
