Jones v. State (Majority, with Concurring)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court denied Petitioner's petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider a petition for writ of error coram knobs, holding that Petitioner failed to demonstrate that the writ should issue.
Petitioner was sentenced to forty years' imprisonment for first-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm. In the instant petition, Petitioner argued that the judgment-and-commitment order was silent as to whether he should serve 100 percent of his sentence and that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding that Petitioner's claims either did not demonstrate some fundamental error of fact extrinsic to the record for which coram nobis relief would be applicable or were not cognizable in a coram nobis proceeding.
