Charles Wayne Green v. State of Arkansas

Summary

The court affirmed Green’s convictions and 56-year sentence. It held that the last-minute amendment specifying forcible compulsion did not change the nature of the rape charges or unfairly prejudice the defense, and that the evidence did not provide a rational basis for the requested lesser-included-offense instructions. The court also upheld the refusal to compel disclosure of the victim’s counselor’s diagnosis because the cited discovery rule did not apply and Green did not adequately develop his other disclosure arguments.
