Supreme Court of Arkansas

Rolandis Larenzo, Chatmon, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee

March 17, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 91

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Chatmon’s Rule 37.1 petition because his challenges to the arrest, evidence, speedy trial, and alleged prosecutorial misconduct were procedurally barred or not cognizable, while his ineffective-assistance allegations were conclusory and failed to establish deficient performance or prejudice. The court also held that the unruled-upon request for conflict-free counsel could not be reviewed and declared Chatmon’s motions moot.
