Christopher Newton White v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied White’s second petition seeking permission to pursue coram nobis relief, holding that he failed to establish a Brady violation or any other cognizable ground for the writ. His claims concerning excluded evidence, destroyed interview recordings, investigative reports, evidentiary rulings, and the sufficiency of the evidence either were previously litigated, were known at trial, or were stated without the specific facts necessary to show material exculpatory evidence and prejudice. The court emphasized that coram nobis is not a vehicle for relitigating trial errors or issues resolved on direct appeal.
