Barnett v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Petitioner was convicted of capital murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. The Supreme Court affirmed. Now before the Supreme Court was Petitioner’s second pro se petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the circuit court to consider a petition for writ of error coram nobis. In the petition, Petitioner asserted that the prosecutor withheld exculpatory evidence and knowingly allowed the State’s witnesses to commit perjury. The Supreme Court denied the petition on the grounds that Petitioner failed to meet his burden of establishing a fundamental error of fact extrinsic to the record sufficient to overcome the presumption that the judgment of conviction in his case was valid.
