Supreme Court of Arkansas

Jimmy Smith v. State of Arkansas

December 10, 20202020 Ark. 408

Summary

The court denied Smith’s third petition seeking permission to pursue coram nobis relief because his allegations either repeated claims previously rejected, failed to establish that favorable evidence was suppressed, or constituted claims outside the permissible scope of coram nobis relief. The court held that Smith did not provide specific facts showing an undisclosed deal with a witness, a withheld 911 transcript, or suppression of testimony from a codefendant’s trial.
