The Supreme Court denied Petitioner's pro se second petition to reinvest jurisdiction in the trial court to consider a petition for writ of error coram nobis, holding that Petitioner failed to establish that he was entitled to relief.
Petitioner was found guilty of capital murder and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. In his pro se second coram nobis petition Petitioner argued that evidence was withheld during his trial in violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), that there was insufficient evidence supporting his conviction, and that he was subject to a double-jeopardy violation. The Supreme Court denied relief, holding that Petitioner's claims failed.
