Supreme Court of Arkansas

Douglas v. State

November 20, 20142014 Ark. 488

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Douglas's petition for a void judgment. It held that the validity and filing location of the judgment had already been resolved on direct appeal and could not be relitigated under the law-of-the-case doctrine. The court also declined to consider new challenges to the change of venue and the Ashley County court's authority because they were raised for the first time on appeal.
