David Lee Felty, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court affirmed Felty’s first-degree felony-murder conviction and life-without-parole sentence after concluding that his appointed counsel’s no-merit brief complied with the governing requirements and that no nonfrivolous appellate issue existed. The court rejected challenges to the sufficiency of the evidence and to counting Felty’s two rape convictions separately for habitual-offender purposes, and it granted counsel’s motion to withdraw.
