Supreme Court of Arkansas

James Girley, Appellant v. Ray Hobbs

July 31, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 424

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Girley’s petition seeking DNA testing under Act 1780, holding that he did not rebut the statutory presumption that a petition filed more than thirty-six months after conviction is untimely. The court also declined to consider his suppression argument because the alleged Brady violation was raised for the first time on appeal and was not ruled on below.
