Petitioner was convicted of aggravated robbery and kidnapping. In his second coram nobis petition, Petitioner raised a Brady claim alleging that the State withheld crime-lab reports and conspired to manipulate DNA evidence to falsely identify him as the assailant. Petitioner's remaining claims were allegations of ineffective assistance of counsel. The Supreme Court denied relief, holding (1) Petitioner did not establish a Brady violation; (2) Petitioner did not establish that evidence was falsified; and (3) Petitioner's remaining allegations were not grounds for the writ.
