Rahsaan Taylor v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Taylor's capital-murder conviction, holding that the State presented sufficient independent evidence to corroborate his alleged accomplice's testimony. The corroborating evidence included testimony placing a similar vehicle at the crime scene, Taylor's possession of the murder weapon four days later, evidence of a related robbery, and his flight from police. The court concluded that, even without the accomplice's testimony, the remaining evidence established the homicide and substantially connected Taylor to it.
