Willie Hutcherson v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Hutcherson’s fourth petition seeking permission to pursue coram nobis relief. It held that the officers’ statements were known to the defense before trial and therefore were not suppressed evidence extrinsic to the record, and that the remaining claims either were outside coram nobis’s scope or could have been raised earlier. The court also rejected the allegations of ineffective assistance and prosecutorial misconduct because they did not establish a qualifying coram nobis error or a reasonable probability of a different conviction.
