Johnnie L. Hill, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

Summary

The court dismissed Hill's appeal from the denial of his Act 1780 habeas petition because he could not prevail. Hill neither identified specific physical evidence for scientific testing nor showed that any new testing method was substantially more probative than methods available at trial, and his petition also raised claims outside the Act's scope. The court further held that Hill failed to rebut the statutory presumption against timeliness applicable to petitions filed more than thirty-six months after conviction.
