Supreme Court of Arkansas

Kwasi McKinney v. State of Arkansas

June 4, 2020602 S.W.3d 85

Summary

The court denied McKinney’s third petition for permission to pursue coram nobis relief. It held that his third-party-confession claim was untimely because it was not raised within the permitted period between conviction and appeal, and that ineffective-assistance claims are not cognizable in coram nobis proceedings. The court therefore declined to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court.
