Ronnie Flow v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Ronnie Flow’s petition for a writ of error coram nobis based on alleged coercion of his guilty plea. It held that the hearing evidence and plea transcript supported the trial court’s finding that Flow’s plea resulted from a rational assessment of the potential sentence and trial evidence, not fear, threats, or duress. The court therefore concluded that the trial court neither clearly erred in its factual findings nor abused its discretion in denying relief.
