Hooper v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Appellant was found guilty of rape, kidnapping, robbery, residential burglary, and third-degree battery. Appellant was sentenced as a habitual offender to an aggregate sentence of 1,320 months’ imprisonment. Appellant later filed a second petition requesting that the Supreme Court reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court so that he could proceed with a petition for writ of error coram nobis. As grounds for the writ Appellant alleged that he was incompetent at the time of trial and was denied his right to present an insanity defense due to his attorney’s ineffectiveness and the State’s failure to reveal certain medical reports. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding that Petitioner fell short of establishing a ground to issue a writ of error coram nobis.
