Supreme Court of Arkansas

Kevin L. Banks v. State of Arkansas

March 4, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 133

Summary

The court affirmed Banks’s convictions and sentences, holding that his evidentiary objections were preserved because the circuit court had twice ruled on them before trial evidence was admitted. It further held that ammunition matching the types used in the shooting was relevant and not unfairly prejudicial, and that evidence of a later shooting was independently relevant under Rule 404(b) as evidence of consciousness of guilt. No separate opinions were filed.
