Supreme Court of Arkansas

Dodge v. State

March 13, 20142014 Ark. 116

Summary

The court dismissed Dodge's appeal from the denial of his Rule 37.1 petition because the record showed that he could not prevail. It held that his ineffective-assistance allegations lacked merit or factual support, and that his double-jeopardy, coerced-confession, and defective-information claims were either unsupported or procedurally unavailable in postconviction proceedings. No separate opinions were filed.
