Michael Wayne Williams v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Williams’s second and amended petitions seeking permission to pursue a writ of error coram nobis based on alleged suppression of crime-laboratory evidence. It held that his allegations concerned the adequacy of the State’s investigation and the sufficiency of the evidence, matters that should have been litigated at trial and that do not establish a cognizable coram nobis claim. The court also concluded that Williams failed to show the required prejudice from any alleged nondisclosure.
