Kenneth R. Isom, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed dismissal of Isom's petition for a writ of error coram nobis, holding that he failed to establish a Brady violation, that the circuit court acted within its discretion in limiting discovery, and that recusal was not required. The court deferred to the circuit court's factual and credibility determinations and found no abuse of discretion in its rulings. Justices Hart and Wood, dissenting, would have reversed and ordered a new hearing before a different judge because of the appearance of bias.
