Willie Hutcherson, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Hutcherson's successive requests for fingerprint, DNA, and facial-recognition testing related to a robbery videotape. It held that he failed to rebut the statutory presumption against timeliness and failed to satisfy other requirements for testing, including showing that the proposed technology was substantially more probative and that testing could establish actual innocence. The court also held that several arguments were not preserved and that no evidentiary hearing was required because the pleadings and record conclusively showed that he was not entitled to relief.
