Johnson v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court denied Petitioner's request that the Supreme Court reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court so that it may consider a writ of error coram nobis, holding that Petitioner's petition was without merit.
Petitioner was convicted of capital murder. In his coram nobis petition Petitioner primarily disputed the sufficiency of the evidence and also alleged various trial errors and ineffective assistance of counsel. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding that Petitioner's petition either did not state claims that were cognizable in a coram nobis proceeding or failed to identify any facts to support the basis for the writ that he alleged.
