Alexander v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court denied Petitioner's petition in which he requested that the Supreme Court reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court so that he may file a petition for writ of error coram nobis and audita querela, holding that Petitioner failed to set out a basis in the original petition or in his amended petitions that would support issuance of the writ.
Petitioner was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole. The Supreme Court affirmed. Petitioner then filed the instant petition, alleging, among other things, Brady claims. The Supreme Court denied the petition, holding (1) with the exception of the Brady claims, none of Petitioner's proposed grounds for the writ were cognizable in proceedings for the writ or fell within one of the recognized categories of error to support the writ; and (2) Petitioner's allegations concerning his Brady violation claims were too vague and conclusory and lacked the requisite factual support.
