Marrio Dednam v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Dednam's request to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction to consider a writ of error coram nobis based on alleged suppression of material evidence. The evidence attached to the petition showed that a codefendant's later guilty plea was inculpatory rather than exculpatory and was entered six years after Dednam's trial, so it could not have been evidence suppressed before trial or a fact that would have prevented the verdict. The petition therefore failed to establish either a basis for coram nobis relief or a prosecutorial-disclosure violation.
