April 6, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 97

Summary

The court denied McArthur’s second petition seeking permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis. It held that the alleged recantation, purported eyewitness affidavits, judicial-bias allegations, ineffective-assistance claims, and other constitutional claims either were inadequately substantiated, contradicted by the record, or were not cognizable in coram nobis proceedings. No separate opinions were filed.
