Young Bok Song v. State of Tennessee

Petitioner, Young Bok Song, appeals from the trial court’s dismissal of a petition for writ of error coram nobis. Petitioner is currently serving a 65 year sentence for seven counts of rape of a child and four counts of aggravated sexual battery. See State v. Young Bok Song, No. M2004-02885-CCA-R3-CD, 2005 WL 2978972, at *12 (Tenn. Crim. App., at Nashville, Nov. 4, 2005), perm. app. denied, (Tenn. Mar. 27, 2006). The petition for writ of error coram nobis alleged that Petitioner was: (1) being illegally restrained as a result of actions by the criminal court; (2) that trial counsel was ineffective for challenging various issues at trial and on appeal; and (3) that his case should be considered by “the Presidential Speech,” public concern, and by the judgment of the International Court of Justice. After a review of the record, we determine that the trial court properly denied coram nobis relief. Consequently, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
