Supreme Court of Arkansas

Alvin Ray Williams v. State of Arkansas

June 4, 2020601 S.W.3d 418

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Williams’s petition for a writ of error coram nobis. It held that Williams failed to establish that the State suppressed the witness statement or that the statement was favorable and material enough to prejudice the defense, although the circuit court erred in revisiting diligence previously resolved in Williams’s favor. The diligence error did not warrant reversal because the Brady claim independently failed.
