Muhammad v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court denied Petitioner's petition seeking to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider his petition for writ of error coram nobis and to recall the Court's mandate affirming his conviction for capital murder and sentence of life imprisonment without parole, holding that Petitioner set out no basis that would support issuance of the writ or a recall of the mandate.
As grounds for his petition, Petitioner alleged that the prosecutor made improper statements during his criminal trial. In an amendment to the petition, Petitioner argued that his sentence was illegal because he was eighteen years old when he committed the murder. The Supreme Court denied the petition and the amendment, holding that Petitioner failed to establish an error of fact extrinsic to the record that could not have been raised in the trial court and failed to allege any extraordinary circumstances warranting recall of the mandate.
