Harrell v. State (Majority)
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 nobis, holding that Petitioner failed to demonstrate a violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963) or to otherwise establish a basis for coram nobis relief.
Petitioner was convicted of second-degree battery, aggravated robbery, and other offenses. After Petitioner unsucessfully filed his coram nobis petition, he appealed. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) the majority of Petitioner's coram nobis petition was made up of claims that the evidence adduced at trial was insufficient to prove his guilt, and such challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence are not cognizable in a coram nobis proceeding; and (2) Petitioner's one cognizable coram nobis claim alleging a Brady violation was made without any factual support and could not be a ground for the writ.
