Question

is a writ of coram nobis still an avenue to attack a past conviction in mo



Answer

That term is seldom used anymore. But, if a defendant was I'll, or someone else committed fraud that led the trial court do disallow dispositive evidence, that was offered as evidence at trial, the trial court can set aside a conviction. The Court of Appeals can reverse a conviction for the same reasons.

If you or a loved one were convicted due to fraud or excuseable neglect, you or they should consult directly with counsel soon.

Good luck
