Supreme Court of Arkansas

Edward Joseph Reynolds, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

May 19, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 173

Summary

The court affirmed Reynolds's convictions for kidnapping and aggravated assault and his consecutive sentences. It held that substantial evidence supported both convictions, that his challenge to the State's failure to disclose medical records was not preserved, and that the circuit court did not abuse its discretion in overruling his objection to the prosecutor's closing remarks. Justice Baker, joined by Justice Hart, concurred in the result but would have found the prosecutor's remarks improper and prejudicial, though harmless.
