Scott v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court denying Petitioner's petition for coram nobis relief, holding that Petitioner failed to establish that the trial court abused its discretion and that the writ should have issued.
Appellant pleaded guilty to first-degree battery and other offenses. Ten years later, Appellant filed a second pro se petition for writ of error coram nobis challenging the judgment. The trial court denied relief. The Supreme Court reversed and remanded, concluding that Appellant's Brady claim may have merit and that the trial court should hold an evidentiary hearing to consider the merits of the petition. On remand, after an evidentiary hearing, the trial court again denied relief. Appellant appealed, raising six claims of error. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the writ for coram nobis relief.
