Theodis N. Thompson, Jr., Appellant v. State of Arkansas, Appellee — Wynne, J., Dissenting

Summary

Justice Wynne, dissenting, would dismiss Thompson's appeal as moot because he had already served the contempt punishment and had not taken steps to prevent mootness. The dissent also argues that, if the due-process violation were reached, the proper remedy would be reversal and remand rather than reversal and dismissal. Justice Danielson, concurring, agrees that Thompson lacked adequate notice, would refer the notice issue to a rules committee, and would apply an exception to mootness for an issue capable of repetition yet evading review.
