Breeden v. State (Majority, with Dissenting)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court denied Petitioner's pro se petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to allow him to file a petition for writ of error coram nobis in his criminal case, holding that Petitioner did not meet his burden of demonstrating a fundamental error of fact extrinsic to the record that was concealed from the defense and that was both material and prejudicial such as to have prevented rendition of the judgment had it been known at the time of trial.
In his petition, Petitioner argued that the State withheld material evidence from the defense by failing to comply with pretrial discovery. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding that Petitioner's conclusory allegations failed to demonstrate that the State concealed evidence or that Petitioner suffered prejudice sufficient to establish that a violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), occurred.
