Supreme Court of Arkansas

Richard Ingram, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

September 4, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 446

Summary

The court denied the appellant's motion to complete the appellate record because he did not show that the omitted exhibits contained information pertinent to his claims. It dismissed the appeal from the denial of postconviction relief because the record showed that he could not prevail on his ineffective-assistance claims, and it deemed his remaining motions moot. The court concluded that his allegations concerning mental-state evidence, expert testimony, and a cultural defense were either contradicted by the record or conclusory and unsupported by facts showing deficient performance or prejudice.
