Supreme Court of Arkansas

Kenny Halfacre, Petitioner v. State of Arkansas, Respondent

January 22, 20152015 Ark. LEXIS 31

Summary

The court dismissed the petitioner's fourth request to reinvest the trial court with jurisdiction to consider postconviction relief. It held that the applicable version of Rule 37 required all postconviction issues to be raised in the original petition unless that petition had been denied without prejudice, and the petitioner's earlier petition did not meet that exception.
