Supreme Court of Arkansas

Perry v. State

October 2, 20142014 Ark. 406

Summary

The court affirmed Perry’s convictions and sentences for capital murder and aggravated robbery. It held that the circuit court properly denied mistrial motions concerning examination of Perry’s mother, the prosecutor’s questions about a witness’s pending sentence, and testimony that Perry smoked marijuana; it also upheld admission of a co-conspirator’s statements. Perry’s challenge to a witness’s identification was not preserved because he failed to object when the testimony was introduced.
