Richard Tommy Gordon v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court denied Gordon’s second petition to reinvest jurisdiction for coram nobis relief because none of his asserted grounds presented a cognizable coram nobis claim. His coerced-statement allegation constituted an asserted trial error, his Brady theory concerned publicly available legal rules and therefore did not establish suppression, and his ineffective-assistance and cumulative-error claims were outside coram nobis’s scope. The motion for appointment of counsel was moot.
