Supreme Court of Arkansas

Scott v. State

December 18, 20142014 Ark. 541

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Scott’s habeas petition because he failed to show that his judgment was facially invalid or that the trial court lacked subject-matter jurisdiction. His challenge to the 200-year sentence had already been rejected, while his remaining claims concerned trial error, evidentiary sufficiency, or postconviction proceedings outside the scope of habeas relief. The opinion contains no separate writings.
