writ of error coram nobis
Definition
a writ calling the attention of the trial court to facts which do not appear on the record despite the exercise of reasonable diligence by the defendant and which if known and established at the time a judgment was rendered would have resulted in a different judgment <petitioned for a writ of error coram nobis on the ground that newly discovered evidence exonerated him>

I can see that the case was closed in 1990, and subsequently in 1994 there was an appeal in the 4th Circuit Federal Appeals Court, in California. The appeal was closed fairly rapidly. I don't know what the outcome was. Nothing happened then for another 6 years, until Secord filed something.

I don't even know what all the counts against Secord were in the original charge, or whether he was convicted of any of them.

Doing a websearch, I can mainly find info on Oliver North's criminal case. He got lucky, mainly because of his immunity during the congressional testimony and his lawyer's ploy of requesting, as part of the defense preparation, some classified documents that the government refused to release. The teeny things he was convicted of were overturned in a successful appeal on technicalities.
