Supreme Court of Arkansas

James Kenneth McCoy v. State of Arkansas

October 7, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 467

Summary

The court affirmed the convictions for aggravated residential burglary and rape. It held that the circuit court properly excluded the defendant's proposed evidence of prior sexual conduct with the victim under the rape-shield statute, that the mistrial motion was procedurally barred as untimely, and that admitting cross-examination concerning a sentencing witness's prior relationship did not constitute an abuse of discretion. No separate opinions were filed.
