Supreme Court of Arkansas

Kevin McMiller, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

October 9, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 536

Summary

The court affirmed McMiller’s convictions and sentences, holding that the circuit court properly denied his Batson challenge to the State’s peremptory strikes. The State provided race-neutral explanations for each challenged strike, and the circuit court’s credibility and discrimination findings were not clearly erroneous or clearly against the preponderance of the evidence. No prejudicial error was found on review of the record.
