We both had only one witness she had a pastor, I had a guardian ad litem, she met the pastor in *, the guardian ad litem was there in * when the devours started on the stand under oath the pastor made a statement and when he was done the victim said that she never told the pastor what he has just said, (so she said that the pastor lied so that would mean that he perjured him self and my attorney never said anything about it, the guardian ad litem she said that the victim told her story to other people but what she told them was a different story,so I spent 15 years in prison. What I need help with is a writ of coram nobis in order to overturn this conviction
