McDaniel v. State

May 21, 20152015 Ark. 229

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of McDaniel's request to obtain, at public expense, transcripts from his codefendant's guilty-plea proceeding. McDaniel failed to establish a colorable cause of action or a compelling need for the transcripts to support a timely postconviction claim, and he could not raise on appeal an argument not presented below.
