Price v. State, No. CR05-792, SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS, January 19, 2006, Opinion Delivered
View this case - free  

Overview: Because co-defendant was not named as an accomplice, accomplice-corroboration principles did not apply; evidence was sufficient to support conviction for first-degree murder under Ark. Code Ann. § 5-10-102. Co-defendant's prior conviction was properly excluded under Ark. R. Evid. 609. Prosecutor's closing argument was proper.

View this case - free  

Overview: Where the issue of the postconviction petitioner's competency was not raised in his motion for new trial, and the trial court did not address whether or not a hearing was appropriate, the case was remanded for the trial court to consider the issue and determine the appropriate disposition, including whether a hearing would be appropriate.

Webb v. State, No. CR04-920, SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS, January 19, 2006, Opinion Delivered
View this case - free  

Overview: Court properly denied defendant's oral motion to withdraw his guilty plea to first-degree murder and battery because the motion was made three days after the judgment and commitment orders were entered; hence, it was untimely under Ark. R. Crim. P. 26.1. The unsworn motion also did not meet the requirements for postconviction relief under Rule 37.

Whitfield v. State, No. CR 05-1101, SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS, January 19, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: The denial of the inmate's motion for a writ of habeas corpus was proper where the grounds raised by the inmate in the trial court did not fall within the purview of Act 1780 of 2001, Ark. Code Ann. §§ 16-112-201 to 16-112-207. Therefore, the petition for writ of habeas corpus should not have been addressed to the trial court.

Whitfield v. White, No. 05-222, SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS, January 19, 2006, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: Where an inmate admitted that the warden was not the warden at the time of the alleged constitutional violations and segregation to punitive isolation was not the type of deprivation that constituted a constitutionally protected liberty interest, the trial court properly dismissed inmate's 42 U.S.C.S. § 1997e civil rights lawsuit with prejudice.
