Jones v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the circuit court denying Appellant's pro se petition for writ of error coram nobis or to vacate his conviction, holding that the circuit court did not err in denying the petition.
Appellant pleaded nolo contendere to first degree battery and unlawful possession of a firearm. Appellant later filed a pro se petition for writ of error coram nobis or to vacate his conviction, arguing that his plea was coerced because his attorney rendered ineffective assistance of counsel during the plea hearing. The circuit court denied the petition. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant's allegations of ineffective assistance and his conclusory conspiracy accusation did not present a valid claim for coram nobis relief.
