Addison v. State (Majority)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the trial court denying and dismissing Appellant's pro se petition for writ of error coram nobis, holding that Appellant failed to demonstrate that the trial court abused its discretion in declining to issue the writ.
Appellant pleaded guilty to robbery and first-degree battery. Appellant later filed a petition for a writ of error coram nobis, asserting that his attorney and the prosecutor conducted a scheme to deceive him into entering a guilty plea. The trial court denied relief. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Appellant's conclusory claims in support of the allegation were not a ground for the writ and that Appellant did not meet his burden of establishing that the plea was the result of fear, duress, or threats of mob violence.
