Chris Allen Oliger v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed the denial and dismissal of Oliger's Rule 37.1 petition. It held that Oliger provided no factual support that a laptop contained an exculpatory recording or that unidentified DNA would have implicated Mathis, and the trial evidence independently established Oliger's guilt. The court also held that the Brady claim was not cognizable because Oliger knew of the alleged evidence and could have raised the issue earlier, while the false-testimony claim was a direct challenge to the conviction.
