Supreme Court of Arkansas

Singleton v. State

September 26, 20132013 Ark. 348

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Singleton’s postconviction petition without an evidentiary hearing. It held that the record conclusively showed he was not entitled to relief because counsel’s decision not to call a witness was trial strategy and his challenge to withdrawal of the suppression motion was conclusory and unsupported. The court also declined to consider an argument raised for the first time on appeal.
