Supreme Court of Arkansas

Chatmon v. State

September 25, 20142014 Ark. 397

Summary

The court did not reach the merits of Chatmon's convictions or his three appellate claims because the record and brief failed to comply with governing appellate requirements. The record lacked the actual audio recording challenged on authentication grounds and a verbatim transcription of the audio recordings played for the jury. The court remanded for the record to be settled and supplemented and ordered Chatmon to file a substituted brief. The opinion contains no separate writings.
