Green v. State (Majority)
Annotate this CaseIn 1979, Appellant pleaded guilty to murder in the first degree and was sentenced to imprisonment for the “rest of his natural life.” In 2014, Appellant filed in the trial court a petition for writ of error coram nobis or motion to correct clerical error or mistake in judgment-and-commitment order, alleging, inter alia, that the trial court made false statements regarding his sentence during the plea hearing that made his sentence illegal and that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance. The trial court denied Appellant’s claim for relief. The Supreme Court dismissed Appellant’s appeal, holding that Appellant failed to establish that he exercised due diligence in bringing forth his claims, and even assuming Appellant had been diligent in bringing his claims, he failed to establish that he was entitled to relief.
