Christopher Everett v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Christopher Everett’s petition for a writ of error coram nobis. It held that his claims concerning a mental-health evaluation, coercion, incompetence, an unintelligent guilty plea, and prosecutorial withholding of evidence either were not cognizable in coram nobis proceedings, had been resolved against him factually, or were conclusory and unsupported. The court concluded that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying relief.
