Johnson v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Petitioner was found guilty of rape and sentenced to 300 months’ imprisonment. The court of appeals affirmed. Petitioner later filed a pro se petition in the Supreme Court seeking leave to proceed in the trial court with a petition for writ of error coram nobis. The Court denied the petition. Petitioner then filed this petition asking to have jurisdiction reinvested in the trial court to consider a coram-nobis petition, alleging, inter alia, that the prosecution withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense in violation of Brady v. Maryland. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding (1) Petitioner did not establish that there was evidence withheld that met the threshold requirements of a Brady violation that was both material and prejudicial; and (2) Petitioner’s remaining claims of error were outside the purview of a coram-nobis proceeding.
