Supreme Court of Arkansas

Wesley Jefferson, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

October 26, 20172017 Ark. LEXIS 255

Summary

The court denied Jefferson’s request to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court for a coram-nobis petition. It held that a challenge to the sufficiency of the trial evidence is not cognizable in a coram-nobis proceeding, and that publicly available statutory commentary is not evidence suppressed by the State under Brady. The alleged commentary therefore could not support issuance of the writ.
