Don Airsman, Jr., Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Airsman’s first-degree-murder conviction and life sentence with a fifteen-year firearm enhancement. It held that substantial evidence supported the jury’s rejection of self-defense, that Airsman initiated the later interview after invoking counsel during the earlier interview and failed to establish an unnecessary, prejudicial, delay-related confession, and that the challenged photographs were properly admitted to corroborate testimony about the gunshot wounds.
