Supreme Court of Arkansas

Edmond McClinton v. State of Arkansas

April 23, 2020597 S.W.3d 647

Summary

The court denied McClinton’s second petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the circuit court to consider a coram nobis petition based on alleged Brady violations. It held that his allegations concerning an emergency-room flowsheet and a crime-laboratory data-change form were vague, unsupported, and failed to show that any undisclosed evidence was material and prejudicial. The documents did not establish that the victim had not experienced sexual intercourse or that DNA swabs had been switched or mishandled.
