Goodwin v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was found guilty of attempted capital felony murder and was sentenced as a habitual offender to life imprisonment. Now before the Supreme Court was Defendant’s pro se petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider a petition for writ of error coram nobis. In his petition, Defendant alleged that he was tried by a court without jurisdiction, that he was subjected to double jeopardy, that he was denied effective assistance of counsel, and that the evidence was insufficient to sustain the conviction. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding that Defendant’s claims were either without merit or were not cognizable in coram-nobis proceedings.
