Linell v. State (Majority, with Dissenting)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court denied Petitioner's petition seeking permission to file a writ of error coram nobis in the trial court, holding that Petitioner failed to demonstrate that he was entitled to coram nobis relief.
Petitioner was convicted of two counts of felony murder and sentenced to life without parole. The judgment was affirmed on appeal. In his coram nobis petition, Petitioner raised four claims that were not cognizable in a proceeding for writ of error coram nobis. Petitioner also asserted a Brady violation, but the Court held that the Brady allegation alone was not a sufficient basis for error coram nobis relief. Petitioner also requested an attorney. The Supreme Court held that because Petitioner did not make a meritorious claim, he was not entitled to appointment of counsel.
