Supreme Court of Arkansas

Sam Edward Thurmond, Sr., Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

July 31, 20142014 Ark. LEXIS 422

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Thurmond’s petition to correct an illegal sentence. It held that the probation-revocation proceeding did not impose a criminal punishment for double-jeopardy purposes, so the additional jail time imposed after revocation could not constitute a second criminal punishment for the same probation violation.
