Pelletier v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseDefendant pled guilty to thirty counts of distributing, possessing, or viewing matter depicting sexually explicit conduct involving a child, first offense. Defendant effectively received a sixty-year sentence in the Arkansas Department of Correction. Defendant later filed a pro se petition for writ of error coram nobis and other relief stating that he had illegally been sentenced for thirty crimes because he had sent only one computer file. The circuit court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the circuit court did not err in denying the petition, as none of Defendant’s claims fell within any of the four categories of recognized claims for writ of error coram nobis.
