Supreme Court of Arkansas

Chad Lee White v. State of Arkansas — Brown, J., Concurring

May 24, 20122012 Ark. LEXIS 253

Summary

Justice Brown concurred in affirming White’s conviction but would analyze the unpreserved Confrontation Clause claim under the recognized exceptions to the contemporaneous-objection rule. He concluded that the claim affected substantial rights but that any constitutional error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt because the evidence of guilt was conclusive.
