Charland v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of three counts of rape and sentenced to an aggregate sentence of 900 months' imprisonment. The court of appeals affirmed. Petitioner subsequently filed a petition for postconviction relief, which was denied. Petitioner then filed a petition requesting that the Supreme Court reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court in order that he may proceed with a petition for writ of error coram nobis, contending that the prosecution withheld recorded statements of the victim in which she gave different accounts of the same event in violation of Brady v. Maryland. The Supreme Court denied the petition because Petitioner failed to offer any facts to substantiate his claim that the alleged recordings were concealed from the defense and that the victim gave conflicting statements to law enforcement.
