123 So. 755 | Fla. | 1929
Plaintiff in error made application to the Criminal Court of Record of Hillsborough County for writ of error coram nobis for the purpose of having set aside an alleged judgment of conviction of a criminal offense, rendered by said courts, on the ground that plaintiff in error was insane at the time of his trial and conviction, which fact was not then known to court or counsel. The court sustained a demurrer to the petition for the writ, and petitioner took writ of error. It appears from the record that the judgment thus attacked was not a valid or effective judgment, in that it contained no adjudication by the court of the defendant's guilt of the crime charged, or any other for that matter. See Neoma Cauhn, alias Naomi Kuhn, et al., v. State, decided at the present term. If another remedy exists, writ of error coram nobis should not be granted. Lamb v. State, 107 So. R. 535,
