Clarence D. Schreane v. State of Tennessee

In 2004, a Hamilton County jury convicted the Petitioner, Clarence D. Schreane, for committing first degree felony murder and especially aggravated robbery in 1991, and the trial court sentenced him to 60 years of incarceration. This Court affirmed his convictions and sentence on appeal. State v. Clarence David Schreane, et al., No. E2005-00520-CCAR3-CD, 2006 WL (Tenn. Crim. App., at Knoxville, Apr. 5, 2006), perm. app. denied (Tenn. Aug. 28, 2006). The Petitioner filed a petition for post-conviction relief, which the post-conviction court dismissed. We affirmed the dismissal on appeal. Clarence David Schreane v. State, No. E2009-01103-CCA-R3-PC, 2010 WL 3919264 (Tenn. Crim. App., at Knoxville, Oct. 7, 2010), perm. app. denied (Tenn. Jan. 18, 2011). Subsequently, the Petitioner filed a writ of error coram nobis, in which he alleged that the trial court erred when it admitted his statement to police during the trial because the trial court did not review the statement first, outside the presence of the jury. The coram nobis court dismissed the writ. After a thorough review of the record, the briefs, and relevant authorities, we affirm the trial court’s judgment.
