Supreme Court of Arkansas

Edward Joseph Reynolds, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee — Baker, J., Concurring

May 19, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 173

Summary

The court affirmed Reynolds's conviction, and Baker, J., concurred in the result while concluding that the prosecutor improperly vouched for the victim during closing argument. She reasoned that the circuit court's curative instruction did not address or cure the prejudice, but the error was harmless because the evidence of guilt was overwhelming. Baker, J., would therefore affirm despite the prosecutorial error.
