John Patrick Cullen v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Cullen’s petitions for coram nobis and habeas corpus. It held that actual-innocence claims based on witness credibility and alleged factual inconsistencies were not cognizable in coram nobis, and that Cullen failed to identify qualifying scientific evidence for statutory habeas relief. It also held that his challenge to the arrest affidavit did not establish a facially invalid judgment, illegal sentence, or lack of subject-matter jurisdiction, and that his second habeas petition was filed in a county lacking personal jurisdiction. No separate opinions were provided.
