Supreme Court of Arkansas

Stanley Ray Hunt II v. State of Arkansas

October 24, 20192019 Ark. 299

Summary

The court denied Hunt’s petition for permission to seek coram nobis relief because his allegations did not establish a meritorious, fundamental error extrinsic to the trial record. His claims concerning charging discrepancies, allegedly false evidence, trial error, and counsel’s performance were not cognizable in coram nobis proceedings. Although prosecutorial nondisclosure may support coram nobis relief, Hunt did not show that the incident report was withheld, material, or prejudicial. The record instead indicated that the defense had received incident reports and that the report contained only a broad time range.
