Arthur L. Armstrong v. State of Tennessee

The Petitioner, Arthur L. Armstrong, was convicted in 1978 of robbery, rape, kidnapping, and two counts of crime against nature and was sentenced to two life sentences, a twentyyear term, and two indeterminate terms of not less than ten years nor more than fifteen years, all of which the trial court ordered to be served consecutively. In March 2005, the petitioner filed a petition for a writ of error coram nobis, in which he alleged newly discovered evidence, and the trial court dismissed the petition after a hearing. On appeal, he contends that the dismissal was an unconstitutional denial of his right to due process. After careful review, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
