Supreme Court of Arkansas

Roy Tolston v. State of Arkansas

January 16, 2020592 S.W.3d 626

Summary

The court denied Tolston’s petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the circuit court to consider coram nobis and audita querela relief. It held that his challenge to the definition of physically helpless was an alleged trial error outside the scope of coram nobis, and that his Brady claim failed because the record showed the defense knew of the medical examination and because he did not establish materiality or prejudice.
