Michael Dashun Jackson v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Jackson's petition for permission to proceed in the trial court with a writ of error coram nobis based on alleged suppression of favorable evidence. It held that the alleged coercion of a witness and the circumstances involving the victim's firearm were known to the defense at trial, while Jackson offered insufficient factual support for the alleged second videotaped statement. Because the claims established neither a Brady violation nor a fundamental factual error extrinsic to the record, coram nobis relief was unavailable.
