Riley v. State (Per Curiam)
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Petitioner was found guilty of rape and sentenced to 300 months’ imprisonment. The Supreme Court affirmed. Now before the Court was Petitioner’s pro se petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the circuit court to consider a petition for writ of error coram nobis. In his petition, Petitioner claimed that the State coerced the victim to testify falsely at Petitioner’s trial and that the victim later recanted her testimony. The Supreme Court denied the petition, as a writ of error coram nobis will not lie for recanted testimony, and therefore, Petitioner failed to state a claim cognizable in a coram-nobis proceeding.
