Watts v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was convicted of drug-related offenses. Appellant was sentenced to an aggregate term of life imprisonment. Appellant subsequently filed a pro se petition for writ of error coram nobis, alleging, among other things, that the judgment violated the prohibition against double jeopardy and that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel, his right to a speedy trial, and the right to conduct his own defense. The circuit court denied the petition. The Supreme Court dismissed appeal and mooted Appellant's motions related to the appeal, holding that none of Appellant's claims were grounds for issuance for the writ.
