Hall v. State, CR 04-1007, SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS, April 14, 2005, Opinion Delivered
View this case - free  

Overview: Evidence was sufficient to prove defendant committed an aggravated robbery as the underlying felony on a capital murder charge under Ark. Code Ann. § 5-10-101(a)(1) (Repl. 1997), because the corpus delicti of the homicide was established by independent evidence, therefore the felony could be shown by defendant's confession alone.

McGhee v. State, No. CR 03-1281, SUPREME COURT OF ARKANSAS, April 14, 2005, Opinion Delivered
View this case - free  

Overview: Because defendant's notice of appeal from a trial court's failure to find ineffective assistance of counsel was not timely filed, the merits of his arguments on appeal were not addressed. Further, because his postconviction relief motion was one for a new trial, Ark. R. Crim. P. 33.3 did apply to determine the timing of the denial of the motion.
