Supreme Court of Arkansas

Michael Dewayne Gulley v. State of Arkansas

October 4, 20122012 Ark. LEXIS 393

Summary

The court affirmed Gulley's convictions and sentences for capital murder and attempted capital murder. It held that Gulley failed to preserve his Stored Communications Act and Arkansas constitutional arguments, and that his Fourth Amendment claim was not reviewable because he did not argue that the prosecutor's subpoena power was abused. The court also held that the three text messages were sufficiently authenticated through carrier records, witness testimony, and corroborating circumstances, and that Gulley's hearsay challenge was not preserved.
