Noble v. State (Majority, with Dissenting)
Annotate this CaseIn 1992, Petitioner entered a plea of guilty to capital-felony murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. The Supreme Court dismissed Petitioner’s direct appeal. Thereafter, Petitioner was party to numerous cases involving his guilty plea. Petitioner was unsuccessful in each of these cases and was equally unsuccessful in seeking federal habeas relief. In 2014, Petitioner filed a petition to reinvest jurisdiction with the circuit court to hold a hearing on his petition for writ of error coram nobis, alleging, among other things, that he was unaware that his plea was not voluntarily, knowingly, or intelligently made until his present attorney advised him. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding that none of Petitioner’s claims fell within one of the four recognized categories subject to coram-nobis relief.
