Melissa Barnett v. State of Tennessee

Case Number
E2014-02396-CCA-R3-ECN

Petitioner, Melissa Barnett, appeals the dismissal of her second petition for a writ of error coram nobis, in which she alleged that her codefendant's recantation of his trial testimony constitutes newly-discovered evidence of her innocence. Upon our review of the record, we agree with the coram nobis court that Petitoner was previously granted a meaningful opportunity to present this claim, and we affirm its decision to dismiss the petition.
