Supreme Court of Arkansas
Samuel L. Conway, Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee
January 14, 20162016 Ark. LEXIS 12
Summary
The court affirmed Conway’s convictions for capital murder and aggravated robbery. It held that substantial evidence supported accomplice liability and the denial of a directed-verdict motion, that Conway failed to preserve review of the evidentiary ruling concerning his duress defense, and that his custodial statement was voluntary and properly admitted. The court also rejected his claims concerning closing argument and the nonmodel jury instruction.
