Supreme Court of Arkansas

Antonio L. Williams, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

May 29, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 347

Summary

The court affirmed appellant’s capital-murder conviction and sentence after concluding that the victim’s in-court identification was sufficiently reliable despite an impermissibly suggestive photo array. It also held that the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying a mistrial because the court sustained the objection and admonished the jury to disregard the prosecutor’s improper remarks. The court declined to consider an additional constitutional argument that was not preserved below.
