Zachariah Scott Marcyniuk v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Marcyniuk's capital-murder conviction and death sentence. It held that sufficient evidence supported premeditation and deliberation, that the mental-disease-or-defect defense was unpreserved, that the challenged photographs were properly admitted and displayed, and that pre-arrest statements made during the traffic stop were not obtained through custodial interrogation. The court also found sufficient evidentiary support for the aggravating circumstances and no reversible error in the sentencing review.
