View this case - free  

Overview: Where defendant was convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine based on testimony from two witnesses who participated in the crime, he never presented the witnesses as accomplices to the judge; therefore, the trial court's failure to give an instruction on accomplice testimony under Ark. Code Ann. § 16-89-111(e) was not preserved for review.

View this case - free  

Overview: In a negligence suit, appellant argued that the trial court erred in refusing to give his proffered jury instruction on following too closely based on Ark. Code Ann. § 27-51-305(a). Because appellant's proffer appeared to have been made for the first time after the jury retired to consider its verdict, the issue could not be address on appeal.
