Supreme Court of Arkansas

Marl K. Gray, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

October 9, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 535

Summary

The court held that the trial court properly treated appellant’s mislabeled civil-rule motion as a petition to correct an illegal sentence and had authority to correct the sentence at any time. It rejected appellant’s subject-matter-jurisdiction and double-jeopardy arguments, but modified the sentence because the suspended term was required to run concurrently with the term of imprisonment. The order was affirmed as modified.
