Benjamin Mickey Pitts v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas denied Pitts’s petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the circuit court to consider a writ of error coram nobis. The court held that Pitts failed to show either that the State suppressed favorable material evidence or that any alleged error was extrinsic to the trial record and could not have been raised earlier. The alleged nondisclosures concerning witness testimony, a photographic lineup, a 911 call, and cell-phone photographs were known, discoverable, matters of public record, or otherwise unsupported by specific facts showing prejudice.
