Shawn Bough v. State of Tennessee

Syllabus

The Petitioner, Shawn Bough, appeals from the Knox County Criminal Court's denial of his petition for a writ of error coram nobis regarding his convictions for felony murder and especially aggravated robbery, for which he is serving an effective life sentence. The coram nobis court dismissed the petition after a hearing because it determined the newly discovered evidence was not credible and would not have led to a different result at the trial. On appeal, the Petitioner contends that the court erred by dismissing the petition. We affirm the judgment of the coram nobis court.

Judges: Judge Robert H. Montgomery, Jr.
