Supreme Court of Arkansas

Cameron Scott Bolin v. State of Arkansas — Hannah, J., Concurring in Part and Dissenting in Part

April 9, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 256

Summary

The separate opinion concludes that the 2013 Comprehensive Criminal Record Sealing Act applies prospectively to petitions filed on or after January 1, 2014, because the Act regulates record-sealing procedures rather than sentencing. It would affirm denial of sealing for Bolin's Class D felony until five years after sentence completion, but reverse and remand for consideration of his misdemeanor records under the sixty-day eligibility provision. Justice Wynne joined the separate opinion.
