Saba A. Makkali v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Makkali's third petition seeking permission to pursue coram nobis relief based on the State's alleged failure to disclose that fingerprints from two known suspects were found in the stolen van. It held that the undisclosed fingerprint information did not establish prejudice because the presence of other fingerprints did not prove that Makkali did not steal the van, and it further held that his approximately twenty-six-year delay independently defeated the petition for lack of due diligence. His motions for appointment of counsel and to amend that motion were therefore moot.
