Calvin Thornton v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Thornton’s petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider coram nobis relief because it was untimely and failed to provide specific facts or evidence supporting the alleged third-party confession. The court also denied Thornton’s motion for leave to file a reply because the governing rules do not authorize such a reply and the proposed filing appeared to raise new issues. The court’s decision left his aggravated-robbery and first-degree-murder convictions undisturbed.
