Burks v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Petitioner was convicted of aggravated robbery and theft of property in the armed robbery of two bank employees as they were filling an ATM machine. Petitioner subsequently filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking to have jurisdiction reinvested in the trial court to consider a a petition for writ of error coram nobis. As grounds for the writ, Petitioner alleged that the prosecution wrongfully withheld information from the defense that could have been used to impeach the victims' testimony that Petitioner was the perpetrator. The Supreme Court denied the petition, as (1) Petitioner failed to establish a Brady v. Maryland violation; and (2) Petitioner did not act with diligence in bringing his claims.
