Carter v. State
Annotate this CasePetitioner Sanders Carter was convicted on charges of rape, aggravated robbery, and burglary. Petitioner unsuccessfully challenged that conviction through a number of different proceedings for various postconviction remedies, which failed. In the instant action, Petitioner brought a Petition before the Supreme Court requesting that it reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider a petition for writ of error coram nobis, asserting that evidence was withheld from the defense in violation of Brady v. Maryland. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding (1) if the evidence in this case was mislabeled as asserted, Petitioner had identified a hidden error of fact that may be cognizable in a proceeding for he writ, but (2) Petitioner did not demonstrate that the error would have been sufficient to prevent rendition of the judgment.
