Supreme Court of Arkansas

Rodney Bunch v. State of Arkansas

October 18, 2018557 S.W.3d 878

Summary

The court denied Bunch's petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the circuit court to consider coram nobis relief based on an alleged suppression of evidence showing that his confession was coerced. It held that the claimed redacted statement was contained in the direct-appeal record and known to the defense at trial, so it was not evidence withheld from the defense for purposes of coram nobis relief.
