Philyaw v. State (Per Curiam, with Dissenting)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial in 1981, Petitioner was found guilty of aggravated robbery and sentenced to life imprisonment. Petitioner later filed a petition in the Supreme Court requesting that jurisdiction be reinvested in the trial court so that he may proceed with a petition for writ of error coram nobis, contending that he was deprived of due process and his right to trial by an impartial jury and that his counsel provided ineffective assistance at trial. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding that the sole claim raised in the petition that could fit within the bounds of a coram-nobis proceeding was the assertion of a Brady violation, but none of evidence set forth by Petitioner in support of his claim rose to the level of a Brady violation.
