Benjamin Carter v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed all of Benjamin Carter's convictions, holding that substantial evidence supported the possession-related offenses and the conviction for maintaining a drug premises. The evidence showed that Carter controlled or occupied the residence, participated in drug sales, possessed buy money, and was linked to drugs, paraphernalia, and firearms found throughout the home. The court declined to address Carter's undeveloped argument concerning intent to deliver and independently reviewed the drug-premises sufficiency issue under its procedural obligations.
