February 9, 20112011 Ark. LEXIS 37

Summary

Justice Baker dissented from the majority’s treatment of the circuit court’s alleged error as a subject-matter-jurisdiction defect. She would have held that the circuit court had authority over the parties and subject matter, making the State’s unpreserved challenge unavailable through certiorari. Justice Henry joined the dissent.
