Johnathan Johnston, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Johnston’s convictions for three counts of raping his daughter, holding that any error in admitting pornographic images from his computer was harmless. The court relied on the victim’s detailed testimony and substantial medical and forensic corroboration, which it characterized as overwhelming evidence of guilt. Chief Justice Hannah, dissenting, would have reversed and remanded because the images were irrelevant propensity evidence whose prejudicial effect required a new trial.
