Supreme Court of Arkansas

Krystal Bohannon, Appellant v. Edward Robinson, Appellee

November 6, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 596

Summary

The court held that Bohannon’s challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence was preserved despite her failure to raise it at the protection-order hearing. Applying clear-error review, the court concluded that the evidence did not establish domestic abuse because the allegations were unsupported by testimony or other proof, and it reversed and remanded while vacating the court of appeals’ opinion. Justice Goodson concurred separately regarding the treatment of prior precedent, and Justice Hart concurred in the result but would not have overruled or limited that precedent.
