Thompson v. State

The Supreme Court denied Petitioner’s pro se petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider a petition for writ of error coram nobis and his pro se motion to file a reply to the State’s response to his coram nobis petition, holding that Petitioner failed to demonstrate a fundamental error extrinsic to the record that would have prevented rendition of the judgment. Petitioner, who was convicted of two counts of rape, argued in his petition that the prosecutor withheld material evidence in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963). The Supreme Court denied relief, holding that Petitioner failed to state sufficient facts to establish a meritorious Brady claim. View "Thompson v. State" on Justia Law
